[bcab] Re: WindowEyes / Spreadsheets

David,
I use JAWS 8 at work and have to identify colours of cells within a spreadsheet. I use the JAWS keystroke Ins 5 (on the QWERTY keyboard) which identifies the foreground and background colour of the cell. I have to use this keystroke for each cell I need to check, I have not yet managed to get JAWS to automatically voice the coloursfor me.
I use W-E at home but have not used colour identification and cannot provide any info on this part of your question.

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
