Hi Owen,

Just getting around to checking this out for you. I have the same setup as 
you described.

In my instance, I tried both scenarios out with the verbosity setting as 
beginner, intermediate, and advanced. In all 3 instances, the edit field 
reports edit when the f2 key is pressed. When it comes to closing the window 
using control + f4, I get verbal feedback that the window is closing in 
beginner and intermediate. In advanced,jaws only says Microsoft excel. I 
have made only a few changes to the defaults in these settings. Nothing that 
would have affected this.

What you are experiencing is strange.

have you tried to run jaws 9 as a default in the run dialog to see if that 
makes a difference?

Hi List,

Has anyone noticed that in Microsoft excel 2003 with Jaws build 2169 when
using the f2 key that it no longer says edit when you push it to edit a cell
and also it no longer says close document window when you press control f4
as well.

I have checked this out on my laptop which is running Jaws 9.0.519 and it is
ok.

Kind regards
