Guy,

Does JAWS go completely silent or does it simply not read as you move the 
left and right arrow keys in the formula being edited forcing you to read 
the current character or word to find out where you are?  If it is the 
latter, I had the same problem using JFW 7.0 but it was 1 of the issues 
that apparently got resolved in 7.1.
Have you tried editing a formula using the latest update of 7.1?

JAWS Excel Question






Good afternoon 
I am using JAWS Version 7.0 with Microsoft Excel and JAWS appears to 
experience a problem when editing  and amending formulae. 
To edit and amend a formula I press F2   to enter the formula bar. I then 
cursor through with JAWS announcing each character. However once I have 
made the first amendment i.e. replaced a cell reference JAWS becomes 
silent!!!!
I cannot remember previous versions of JAWS experiencing the same problem 
to this degree. Is there a far more effective way to use JAWS 7.0 to 
undertake this task?
Any help would be appreciated. 
        Guy
