Title: Red and yellow cells
Dave,
 
You say JAWS 9 is one of the best yet.  What features do you find particularly useful? 
 
I guess I have been a bit lazy and not looked in the what's new but has anyone read any good evaluations of it?

Hi, Jaws 9.0 has a setting in the Excel verbosity settings to report colour change automatically if you wish, so if colleagues want to give you such information, you need an upgrade to your Jaws. I would say all Jaws users should upgrade to the latest version if at all possible. It is one of the best yet and some of the new features are more important than you'd ever realise until you actually start using them.
 
Cheers
Dave

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?
