Hello Claudia. The first thing I would do is let Jaws know where the headers are you may have a header column and a header row or both once you get these marked you can then start moving around much easier. Then I will just remind you a drop down menu works like a combo box where you open the combo box with "alternate + down arrow" then use your up and down arrow keys and make your selection then you should close the combo box with "alternate + up arrow". I Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Claudia Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 11:29 PM To: Claudia Cc: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Working with Excel Documents? Hi, Does anyone know how to use Excel extensively? I need to work with an important document for my job, and the document apparently has drop-down menus and merged cells. I have no ideas how to navigate through a document like this! I'm using JFW 9 and Windows XP!
