Hi Carol.

The table is laid out with the time slots (periods throughout the day 
lasting 2 hours) down the side and the days across the top.

So if you put your cursor in the first column of the table you use alt 
control up/down arrow until you get to the time you want.  Then move across 
to the right with alt control right arrow until you get to the day you want. 
If the time you want on the day you want is available you will hear the word 
Link spoken followed by a price, typically £4.99
  Because this is a link you can press enter on it and the slot is booked.

Just using up and down arrow really makes no sense in this situation so it's 
good to use the table navigation commands to get more of an idea.

cheers

Graham

I'm using Jaws.  I have used tables a little but don't have too
much use for them.  I don't really understand the layout, that's
the problem.  Contrary to Steve's thinking, I believe that some
blind people have a much better grasp than others of layout and
that's maybe why I don't understand what I have to do there to
select a day and time.

I appreciate your question.  Thanks for showing an interest.

Carol
