Ray,

Use alt control shift C and alt control shift R to set column and row 
headings in Excel with JFW version 5.0.


Before setting the column and row heading(s) be sure that the appropriate 
columns and/or rows are highlighted.

Then as you move from column to column the column heading will be read and 
likewise when moving up or down the sheet row headings will be read.

HTH.

Subject: Excel and Dictionary Question


Hello:

I got these questions from someone who uses JAWS 5.0.  First, he wants
to make an excel spreadsheet such that the first row contains headings
and as he goes down the sheet, the heading text such as Description is
read to him.  Is there any way to do this?

His second question is, what dictionary programs on CD work best with
JAWS?  This person doesn't like dictionary.com because he thinks going
to it caused him to get spam and junk mail.

Any answers to these questions would be appreciated.
