Yes and sometimes JAWS seems to get a bit stuck when doing complicated formulas 
and you haven't got everything you need in the formula. Then when you arrow 
around it doens't move. Very strange.

Kevin,

Use f2 to open the formula. Then Ctrl+LeftArrow or Ctrl+RightArrow will move 
through chunks of the formula. Otherwise, just the arrow keys.

I have noticed that there is often a delay in speaking the characters, and 
sometimes they are spoken twice. Just go back-and-forth a couple times to be 
sure you've correctly read the characters.

This may be due to the size of the formula bar. Also I've found better results 
when the window is maximized.

Dave

  When reading a long formula in a cell, how do I get Jaws to read individual 
components?
