<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> In Microsoft Excel/Word, I almost always have JAWS announce the column/row headings. However, this requires opening the Quick Settings to change the read title
setting for every table/worksheet. In Excel, this is even more annoying because I have to do it again if I rename a sheet. Is there some way to tell JAWS to just read the silly headers rather than having to change the setting over and over again?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
