This article is for people who use a screen reader program such as Windows Narrator, JAWS, or NVDA with Microsoft 365 products. This article is part of the Microsoft 365 screen reader support content set where you can find more accessibility information on our apps. For general help, visit Microsoft Support.
Use Project for the web with your keyboard and screen reader to explore and navigate the screen elements in a roadmap. We have tested it with Narrator, but it might work with other screen readers as long as they follow common accessibility standards and techniques.
Notes:
-
New Microsoft 365 features are released gradually to Microsoft 365 subscribers, so your app might not have these features yet. To learn how you can get new features faster, join the Office Insider program.
-
To learn more about screen readers, go to How screen readers work with Microsoft 365.

When you use Project for the web, we recommend that you use Microsoft Edge as your web browser. Because Project for the web runs in your web browser, the keyboard shortcuts are different from those in the desktop program. For example, you’ll use Ctrl+F6 instead of F6 for jumping in and out of the commands. Also, common shortcuts like F1 (Help) and Ctrl+O (Open) apply to the web browser – not Project for the web.
Navigate a roadmap
To cycle through the main elements of a roadmap, press Ctrl+F6 (forward) or Shift+Ctrl+F6 (backward).
The focus moves through the following main elements:
-
The top navigation toolbar, which contains the app launcher, Microsoft 365 and user settings buttons.
-
The roadmap name row, which includes the Zoom, Filter, Go to date, and Group members buttons.
-
The command toolbar, which includes the Add row and Add key date buttons, as well as context-specific buttons relating to the currently selected item in the roadmap.
-
The contents of the roadmap in a table format.
To navigate inside a toolbar or the name row, press the Tab key (forward) or Shift+Tab (backward). To select an item inside an element, press Enter.
To navigate the roadmap contents, press the Tab key or Shift+Tab to move through the regions of the table. To select a table region, press Enter or Spacebar, and to move between the items in a selected region, press the Left or Right arrow keys. To select an item, press Enter.
