I did check out my Excel 2003 sp 3 version. I think that this latest version
JAWS speaks okay, on the cells and columns. But as I said, I am definitely not
an expert with Excel.

Mike,
If you're talking about JFW 12.0.1158 my main complaint was that Excel 2007 no
longer allowed reading of monitor cells and top 4 column cells. They didn't fix
those from the previous revision. I also noticed very erratic behavior in Excel
2007, such as not reading a cell when I jumped to the end of a range with
Ctrl+arrow keys. Overall it was a mess and a 3-hour process to remove JFW 12
completely and reinstall JFW 12.0.525.
I didn't even take the time to test it out on other applications except that
Outlook 2007 seemed to not have suffered. I just wasn't interested in losing
any more productivity time. Excel is my most important tool.
My comment to FS support was that I felt they indeed did make some significant
changes to Excel, but I felt that I was not at all impressed with those changes.
I've not bothered trying to install JFW 12.0.1158 since.

Hi folks. I've heard complaints about the new jaws update. I too had
problems installing it, first off. Secondly, now that I have it up and
running, I have trouble, switching windows. I use MS Word and MS Excel and
have to move back and forth. When I do, jaws pauses for about ten seconds
everytime. Can't use my pc cursor or anything like that. It works after that,
but it's annoying to have to sit and wait. Any suggestions?
