You are correct.  There's not an accessible way that I know of to 
label specific sections of the chart.  The question I ask is: how 
is the chart situated? With Excel, you can place the chart on its 
own chart sheet, or you can embed the chart or graph in the same 
worksheet as your data.  If you have any questions, please email 
me at: kidbrailler at aol.com, and I'll help you as best as I am 
able.

Sincerely



Alonza.

 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
