[Trainer-talk] an issue with formulas in excel 2013

[Nancy Vanderbrink]

Hi all,
So, a student and I have run into the same issue, we were working with ranges, part of the time, the edit boxes said nothing more than the title of their box, even when doing insert tab, they would still not read the contents, even while refreshing JAWS with insert escape.
One of the strange issues we had was when we would put in a formula, it would say "#Name?" and jaws would announce "Has formula"
Has anyone ever seen this?  I'm not sure if it's operator error or something with Office 13 and our network, I'm about frustrated and so are they, because we're following the appropriate process, it's just not coming out right.
Anybody have any thoughts or suggestions?
