Re: Speaking Row and Collumn Titles In Excel

I didn't know it was alt control 1 and alt 1. It's working now! Thanks so much! I was using alt control and letters, but the numbers do work. Thanks, Dave. You rock.

Samara,

I think you're out of luck trying to have Excel '03 and '07 on the same
computer. Excel maps into the Office suite and that defines the features.

Just like in Dan's case I have no idea why you both can't use the
Alt+1,2,3,4 and Alt+Ctrl+1,2,3,4 key combinations to read the titles above
and titles to the left in a spreadsheet. Are you certain that the cell in
column 1 has data in the row you're in?

Dave

Okay, I did that, but it didn't do anything. Should I try it in an xls
file? I'm using xlsx currently. But alt shift c just gives you that
bump noise when nothing happens, and the alt shift r opens that stupid
review ribbon thing. I wish I had the simple 03 excel with regular
easy-to-navigate menus. I'll try...but are there any other
suggestions? Any idea if I can get excel 03 and still keep 07 on my
comp? Or where I can download it if possible? Jaws just seems to work
better with that.

Thanks guys.

Hi, I've looked both at excel help and jaws help, and the commands
they give me for reading the title or first cell in a collumn or row
so I know what I'm in if I forget don't work. Now, I'm not certain if
it's the read title command I need or just a command to read the first
cell in both the collumns or rows. Can someone help me with a command
for those please? I do a lot of spreadsheets for different things, and
sometimes it's simply difficult to remember where I am if I take a
break or whatnot.

I'd really appreciate it. Thanks guys.

Sam
