Hi,
This was added in 2014.3, so I'll mark it as duplicate of #1353 (or other ticket). Thanks.

Actually, paragraph alignment for report formatting was implemented back in 2011. Can you please provide exact steps to reproduce and exactly what NVDA said when you pressed NVDA+f? For me, I hear, for example, "align center" at the end of the other formatting information.

When in Word I hear font name, point size and color. Example: 11 PT Verdana Black on white. no info about centered or any justification.

Is your review mode set to screen review by any chance? NVDA+f gets the formatting at the review cursor, so if NVDA is set to screen review, it will use screen information, not proper information from Word.

Ahh! didn't know that. thanks! Is that something that might be changed where it would use the information from the writing or PC curser? Just a question. I could see people getting a bit tripped up by that especially if they like to leave it in screen review. I am extremely impressed at how outlook calendar support has come along also. Thanks.

The reason we do it this way is that it makes that command a lot more flexible without needing to have two commands; i.e. you can use it without having to move the system caret if you want to. Normally, the review cursor follows the system caret and focus, so this isn't a problem. However, if you use screen review, this isn't the case. We'll need to think on this. Perhaps this command needs ot be configurable for those that use screen review a lot.

Sounds good and thanks. Do I need to close this or how is that done?

Leave it open for now. We might morph it into a request to make the behaviour of NVDA+f configurable as I described above if we feel it is appropriate.

I was certainly one of those who was flummoxed in my early days with NVDA when things like NVDA+. and NVDA+F (laptop keyboard layout) reported in the context of the character focused by screen review. However, I don't think I follow @jcsteh in terms of the proposed NVDA+F configurability. Could you please shed some more light on this and morph this ticket accordingly?

On further thought, I think making this configurable would just make things more confusing as you say. Closing as won't fix.
