Subject: Displaying The Cell Address In Excel
Dear JAWS Users
I am currently using JAWS 9.0.2169 on a desktop PC running Windows XP. I use
an Alva Satellite 544 braille display.
I find that in Microsoft Excel 2007, JAWS does not display the cell address
in the formula bar located at the top left corner of the screen, just below the
menu bar. This is when I am in line mode. So, when I scroll to the formula
bar using the Braille Up key, or my shortcut key, all I see on the Braille
display is the contents of the cell, but not the cell address.
Sighted colleagues have confirmed that they can see the cell address on the
screen.
We've tried adjusting the size of the formula bar, but to no avail.
I also tried reloading JAWS and using it without any of my configurations.
But this too did not work.
Another issue in Excel which may or may not be related to the one described
above is that if I type in a letter or number more than once in a cell, it only
displays as a single character on the Braille display. For example, if I press
"200", it displays as "20". However, when I hit enter to submit my entry, it
displays correctly on the braile display. So, it is only duringthe edit that
the problem exists.
Does anyone have suggestions on how I can solve these problems?
I will be very grateful as I use Excel quite extensively in my work and these
things are very annoying.
Regards
Elash Mistry
