Re: In Excel, How do you hear "Selected Range"?

To hear the selected range, press insert-shift-down arrow. JAWS doesn't read everything that is selected, but does report the range.
Insert-h should give you some help with Excel. More help is available through JAWS help, popular applications with Jaws, Microsoft applications, Excel.

Hello Folks,
I am using JAWS 9 and Excel 2003, Xp-Home system.
I know I know this, but I am having a moment, probably due to those "Woodstock Generation" days!
In Excel, if you select a range of cells, and I mean continuous cells, like d4 to d10, nothing fancy, how do you then hear what was selected after you did the selection.
I know you will hear as you are selecting the cells, but for example if you forget what you selected, how do you hear what was selected?
One other question, what is the key combination to get JAWS Help for an application, like Excel?
I cannot believe I have been using Excel on a job for eight (8) years, and now that I am taking a refresher course from the Hadley School, I realize I forgot just about everything I did not use on a day to day level, just to do my work! 
I guess I was like a trained monkey sort to speak! (Smile)
Thanking you kindly in advance.

With Best Regards,
