What works for me is autosizing the columns so they are at the maximum
width of your longest cell. The easiest way to do this is to start in
cell a1. hit the key combination control+shift+end
Then go to the format menu with "alt+o" type "C" for columns then
autofit selection will be highlighted. hit enter and all the columns
highlighted will be made wider and then jaws shouldn't read text that
isn't there anymore.

BTW I do this with spreadsheets ranging from 20 columns and 4000 rows to
200 columns and 60000 rows.

Subject: JAWS ECHOING TEXT IN BLANK CELLS
Hi folks,
I have an excel spread sheet comprised of 14 columns and 84 rows.
When I cursor down any of the columns jaws reads text from a previous
cell in that same column. The crazy thing is that the text being spoken
is not necessarily in the cell directly above my cursor, it could be
from a cell four or five rows above.
This occurs with both Jaws 8 and 9. Because it happens with both
versions of Jaws I'm not convinced that Jaws is the culprit.
Mr... Murphy and his law dictates that this should happen in the midst
of year end reports.
Thanks for any help.
