[Electronics-talk] Excel 2007 Question

[wmodnl wmodnl]

No, no direct way exists. You can try:
CTRL+"G" to go to a certain cell like "G7." Then, arrow-down to "L7", to read the data you want.
Another option is to decide the cells you want data from and copy the values into another sheet in the document, or copy them in a completely new spread-sheet.  Good luck.

Read the jaws training material; it should be under training in the menu if you have a recent jaws. Also, hadley has a course in excel but it is not jaws specific. To read up on it to see if its useful go to hadley.edu and click on find a course.
