I have a similar problem from time to time. Jaws reads text from another cell when my cursor is in a blank cell though, in my case, it's text in a cell whose coordinates are the same as the one I'm on but on another sheet of the workbook. I solve the problem by hitting f2 twice to toggle in and out of edit mode and then doing a screen refresh with insert escape. i generally do all right after that. I use Jaws 8. Hope this helps.
