> jaws doesn't read what you type when you label the title and axes. However, this should work: when you are in the chart window, go to the ribbon and go to the format tab, which should be just to the right of "design".
> Then use the down arrow key to go to the different chart elements. If you hit enter on the "title" element and type the title (jaws does not speak what I type) and hit enter and then hit control+insert+c again to go back to window, the title should have changed
> When you have multiple charts in the same spreadsheet, you can toggle between them by pressing alt+insert+c and then hitting tab before hitting control+insert+c. Again, jaws does not speak the name of the chart until hitting control+insert+c, which is annoying, but it works
