To find the commands that JAWS has in the program window that you are
setting in, press JAWS-key (Insert on the Number Pad) and all the JAWS
commands for that program will come up, just arrow down and look at them.

The table commands for word and JAWS 10 are- (these probably  are the same
for earlier versions- Select a table  control+Insert+t

Say the current table column Windows+Period Say the current table row
Windows+NumPad5 Move to and say the prior table column Windows+LeftArrow
Move to and say the next table column Windows+RightArrow Move to and say the
prior table row Windows+UpArrow Move to and say the next table row
Windows+DownArrow

Jim,

I use Window-Eyes and it has specific keys that help move around in Word
tables, and my understanding is that JFW also has such keys.  Depending upon
the content of your table, these could be very useful or they may not.  If
you had a table of states and their populations, for example, such keys
would allow you to move straight down the column of states and read only the
populations that are of interest.  There might be a separate key to read the
entire table row, which probably would give you the same information as you
get when converting it to text.  If nobody else can give you more specifics
and you are not able to get any information, let me know and I'll try to do
more digging by asking some JFW users who might have experience with tables.

Please don't misunderstand, I'm not saying there is anything wrong in just
getting rid of tables, but you might be able to save a step and possible
find them useful in some cases.  Also, getting rid of them is not an option
if you are working on a Word document with someone else and don't want to
change the format.
