Re: JAWS and Excel: accessing the toolbar with the formulas

Pressing the equal's  key will place focus in the formula bar.  
Pressing the Alt key then pressing Control + tab one time will put you on the 
tool bar.

Good luck,

Roy

  Subject: JAWS and Excel: accessing the toolbar with the formulas 


  Hi everyone: 

  I am taking a computer course that is involving the use of Excel. I have 
never used Excel with JAWS much, except to enter numbers... but now I am having 
to use the formulas feature along with others that are visual and that I cannot 
begin to explain because of my utter confusion. the one question that I may be 
able to get answered here is how do I access the formula toolbar with JAWS? 

  Also, when I create a chart the virtual viewer comes up on screen describing 
the coordinates and such, though it is not visually accessible. As I am getting 
sighted help with changing things within the chart, the virtual viewer at times 
seems to inhibit certain commands. I have checked that it wasn't checked in the 
configuration manager, yet it still comes up. and when I do escape it 
disappears but it also goes out of the chart. is there some way to stop the 
virtual viewer from coming up for the time being and then implement it at a 
later time? 

  sorry for this convoluted sounding e-mail.

  Patricia
