Hello Patricia,
I am very sorry that you are having this problem. Is SPSS the Statistics
data base for social sciences? I have not used it with JFW but did need it
for a course back in my undergrad days.
Take care,
John

Subject: a last ditched effort with JAWS and SPSS
Hi all:
Now I am working with SPSS and finding it extremely difficult to say the
least. I've been told by sighted people that it looks really similar to
Excel, but as I am navigating through supposed cells all JAWS says is "no
variable in this position" even if there is a variable present. yet, as I
input data i can get jaws to read it to me with a say line. I had asked
about the accessibility before, and didn't get very encouraging responses. I
just thought I'd check again before giving up. this is a frustrating matter
that's for sure. Reference Manager was just as bad. I am using JAWS 7.1,
SPSS version 14.0, and yes, the scripts are from 1999 but they haven't
seemed to help me much. I will try again in the coming weeks. yes, weeks. 4
looooong weeks of SPSS. I'm going to check on the web to see if there's
anything i can find regarding the issue, but I thought I'd see if anyone has
any solutions first, or if I should just label this program, along with
Reference Manager, as inaccessible for blind and visually impaired JAWS
users.
