The 2025.2 release notes said this had been remedied, but it still isn't announcing the view change for me (2025.2-2025.3 beta 3). Word version 25018 build 16.0.19127.20082 64-bit. . |

Summary of the issue:
Word has shortcuts to change view type (page, outline, etc.)
Description of user facing changes
When using Word shortcuts to change the view type, the new view type is reported. The following shortcuts are supported:
control+alt+p: page viewcontrol+alt+o: outline viewWords has also a shortcut
control+alt+nto switch to draft (normal) mode. Since it is overridden by NVDA's launch shortcut, it is not supported in this PR. Changing NVDA's well known default launch shortcut to free Word's nativecontrol+alt+nis not worth it.Description of development approach
Usual pattern for Word toggle scripts using the object model.
Testing strategy:
Manuel test in Word (2021 LTSC).
Known issues with pull request:
None
