[bcab] Re: WindowEyes / Spreadsheets

David

With the version of JAWS and Office I'm using on this machine, I can have the 
colour of the text spoken when I enter a cell with a different colour than the 
contents of the cell I left.  I've not got time now, but I'm pretty sure you 
can do this with WE - the latest version 6.1 is every bit as good as JAWS for 
the vast majority of task in Excel.

And before the bashers start, it's better for the odd thing and worse for the 
odd thing, JAWS that is.

Subject:        [bcab] WindowEyes / Spreadsheets

Dear all

I am a WindowEyes user, but although I've been using it for quite a while
would not class myself as an expert.  I am finding it increasingly
difficult to read Excel spreadsheets easily and effectively.  Many people
within my organisation use Excel spreadsheets constantly, including
occasions when you would expert them to use a project management tool.
Often key items are highlighted in red, yellow, green etc.  Are there any
WindowEyes users out there who would be able to offer any help or advice.

I am also interested in understanding how well JAWS handles spreadsheets
and if it is able to identify cells which are in a particular colour.

Regards
Dave Mawson
