Subject: JAWS and Excel and Word
Hi,
I'm not a great Excel user, but I've had to use it more and more lately.
I have a few questions about it and about Word:
1. How do I format the spreadsheet when I import it from a non-Excel
file? Other people can click on the columns, and force them to the size
they want, and arrange the data how they want. Since I can't, it
usually ends up in one column, all clumped together. I'm usually
importing from a text file when I try this.
Are you trying to import a file that's delimited, or is it just a text
file with nothing to seperate the columns?
2. If I have an SSN, formatted as 012-34-5678, and I want it without
the formatting, what's the best way to do this without losing the
leading zeros?
Highlight the cells in question.
then hit control+1. change to the number format tab.
then tab to the list box and select "text". This will keep excel from
dropping leading zeros.
3. In Word, how do I delete comments? How do I add to a comment
without adding to the text of the document? What's the best way to tell
to what portion of the text the comment refers to?
don't know about this one. Sorry. :)
4. After making entries in a table in Word, what's the best way to tell
if the formatting has been preserved, and the data still looks correct
to sighted folks?
don't know this one either.
5. Why would JAWS say "empty or "blank" when moving through a table,
when I know there's data there? What's the best way to read a Word
table with JAWS?
I always make sure I'm in ro1 column 1 and then tab through the table
slowly. Or use the inisibile cursor.
Thanks for all your help.
