Hi, Here's a useful tip for navigating within the spreadsheet.After you've created your column headings, in row 1, for example, place your cursor anywhere in row 1 and go into Verbosity with insert+v. Then arrow down to the line item that reads "set column titles to row range". It will say "undefined". Press the space bar to set it to 1 and press enter to exit the dialog. The workbook settings will be saved. From then on, you can freely navigate through the spreadsheet and know which column you're in at all times, assuming, of course, that the column has a title. You may have to do this for new spreadsheets that you create.
I found this out while goofing around with verbosity and it's worked great for what little I do with Excel. Hope this helps.

The table is already created in Excel. There are plenty columns and rows. Hence, you do not need to create either columns or rows. Entering Data: The cursor will be placed in the first column and first rowby default. In this column, you enter the column header for the first column in your table (ex. Client name). Then you either click tab or right arrow to get to the first row of the second column. Here you enter the column headerof the second column (ex. Date opened). Continue to do this till you haveentered all of your column headers (Client Name Date Open Race Income Type & Result Time). Then you click enter or arrow back to column A row 2 and start entering the data as you go. After you have reached the last column of yourtable, click enter to enter the data into the next row. Hope this helps.

Okay, But, I really don't understand how Excel is set up. I know there are rowsand Letters assigned to them, but how would I create the various columns andenter the subsequent data?

Either ofthem should not be hard. For Excel: Open a new Spreadsheet in Excel. JAWS will read off the cell numbering (ex. A1 etc.)You can move right and left; up and down using the arrow keys or you coulduse the tab and shift+tab key to move left and right.
