[Electronics-talk] Excel 2007 Question

[Shannon Cook]

One thing you could do is to place your PC cursor on one cell and the JAWS cursor on the other. Then, when you want  to switch between them, just activate the respective cursor and read current word or line, whichever is most appropriate.

Hi Nicholas,
I don't believe there is a command for this. To read the cell below my current one, I press down arrow. But to do it when they are in different places, not together, I don't think there is a way. 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.
Jaws tech support may also help you with this, assuming you paid a maintenance agreement.
Unfortunately, we cannot read at different parts of the screen as sighted people and I'm afraid this is one example; they can skim down the column and go to the row they want and read it. Not so with us.

Finally, if you want to read the colunm, there is a command for it, but cannot remember now.
Also, if you want the cursor to go to the specified cell, like l7, press f 5, type the cell info, and press enter.
Once you are at the cell, jaws reads the cell info.

HTH,
Ashley

Hello-How do I instruct Excel to read cells from two different rows using JAWS?  For example, F7 followed by L7.  Thanks for the help.
