Dear Jason,

Both VLookup & Pivot tables are accessible with JAWS.

Request you to drop a mail to my personal email id, salatey at gmail.com & I 
will send you the step-by-step instructions for both.

Subject: [nfbcs] Excel questions

Hello this is my first post to this list. My name is Jason Polansky, and I 
am a blind student at Messiah College in Pennsylvania, studying business. I 
am taking a class called strategic use of information tech, and we are 
working on Excel. So far, I have completed the Hadley Institute's course, 
but it only really covers basic concepts. I know how to apply number formats

with control-1, auto-fit cells through the ribbon, edit cells, use simple 
formulas, sort items in a database, and select, copy, and paste. Currently, 
my peers are learning to use auto-fill and the v-lookup function. They will 
also be doing graphs, pivot tables, and charts. My professor and I are not 
sure how much of these features are accessible with a screen reader. We are 
both having difficulty finding good comprehensive resources on these topics,

if there are any. I want to learn as much as I can and have as much 
knowledge as my peers, but we're not sure how I can gain this valuable 
knowledge. The book that they are using primarily focuses on using the 
mouse, but has some keyboard shortcuts. Honestly, I think someone needs to 
write a book on using excel with a screen reader. It was suggested that I 
call the Microsoft Accessibility answer desk, but they did not have any 
answers and in fact, said that they have never had anyone ask these 
questions. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
