[nabs-l] Excel: Charts and Graphs with JAWS 17

[Christina Moore]

Thank you Arielle.
These are charts I am creating, at times using external data that 
I copy in to the sheet.
How do I find the axes?

God Bless,
Christina

Hi Christina,
As far as I know, it's not possible to label a chart that someone 
else
has created using JAWS.  Excel charts usually have a sheet 
associated
with them that contains the actual data.  You can try opening the 
chart
and then pressing control-page up or page down to see if there is 
a
data sheet associated with the chart.  If you are the one 
creating the
chart from scratch, you will create the data worksheet first, 
insert
the chart and then you can click on an axis to label it.
I think it may be worthwhile to recruit a reader for jus 15-20 
minutes
to help with the labeling.
Best, Arielle

 Hi Everyone,

 Sorry for another message to the list.  I am very new to Excel 
and
 while I have had some classes on it, they only covered basics 
such as
 budgeting Etc.
 I am currently trying to figure out how to have JAWS read charts 
and
 graphs and to label charts and graphs.  Every time I am on a 
chart or
 graph, I find that JAWS does not say anything and so I am unsure 
how
 to interact with the chart or graph and label the parts I need 
to
 label.
 If anyone knows where I can find a free very useful resource on 
Excel
 with JAWS, please let me know.
 If you know how to do this, please share those tips too.
 Thanks.
 Christina
