Outlook 2013

The category type is not announced in Outlook options dialog and a TAB after cancel button is silent and one does not come to know about the category name. only after going to the group one can identify the type of category.
Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open options dialog from file menu.
  2. TAB to cancel button.
  3. The Cancel button is announced.
  4. Again TAB.
  5. Nothing is announced.
  6. Again press TAB and one lands in a group of a type of categorised controls to help customise Outlook.

I've also noticed this using Outlook 2010 on a Windows 7 32-bit system. What happens is that the list of categories found in the options dialog, such as "general", "customize ribbon", etc., are not spoken as you press the up/down arrow keys to navigate within that list.
Changes:
Changed title from "in Outlook 2013, it is difficult to find out the category of the opotions one tries to customise the Outlook." to "In Outlook 2013, NVDA does not read the list of categories found within the Options dialog."

Hi,
When I open Options dialog in Outlook 2010 and 2013, categories are announced as I arrow through them. Please try with 2014.2 and see if this is fixed. If not fixed, please try master branch, and if not, try next branch (master and next should be tried after trying with 2014.2 first). Thanks.

This works correctly for me in Outlook 2016 and @josephsl reported it worked in 2010 and 2013 as well. Seeing as the original poster did not report with results with 2014.2 (or newer) and we are unable to contact the original author for additional information, closing
