[bcab] Re: Red and yellow cells

I'd have to disagree here, Eleanor.  Right now I am working
with a spreadsheet which, when printed is approximately one
and a half meters tall by almost 3 metres wide. It's 98
lines by 67 columns.
 
It is basically an analysis of braille symbols used
throughout the E.C.  Without the use of colour to highlight
differences, it would be extremely difficult to perform the
kind of analysis required.  Moreover, the majority of target
audience are sighted.
 
Ultimately this will have to be converted into some kind of
database, and then produced as a web page where two or more
countries can be selected and compared side by side.
 
Admittedly this is a rather unusual project, but I cannot
see any alternative way of making things stand out.
 
George.

Thanks.  That worked.  How do listers feel about
discouraging colleagues from using colour alone to highlight
spreadsheet cells because of the time it can take to examine
the colour of each cell in a large spreadsheet?

Hi Eleanor,
 
Jaws key plus 5 on your number row will announce the colour
of your cells.  It announces the colour of the font and its
background.  For example, it is currently saying black on
white to me for this Email, denoting black text on a white
background.  Hope this helps.

I recently received a spreadsheet with some cells
highlighted in red and yellow and couldn't find a JAWS 6.2
keystroke to tell me which they were.  Can anyone help?
