MessageI have had no problem setting row and column headings for a pre-existing spread sheet. I marked the heading rows and columns in the way I have always done. What exactly are you experiencing when you attempt to set headings in a pre-existing spreadsheet?

Here is what I think the problem is. If I start with a new database, there is no problem with 8. However, if using an existing database, which was set up using Jaws 7, there is no way. My conclusion. 8 is messing up forcing me to use 7.1 or earlier. I already talked to Jaws and they were no help. following there instruction; which was to read the updated Daisy training material, which did not answer my problem at all, I'll contact them again.
