and I learned something too. The JAWS cursor trick didn't occur to me. Good list, isn't it???

That's great Ann,  you see I find these things because I get tired of
going through menus trying to find what I want and as a heavy jaws
cursor user I tend to discover these things or do what my sighted
colleagues do.
Now that I know where to find this option in the menus I will probably
start using that method.

Tom, that's cool.  Another way to rename a worksheet is to go into the
format menu while in the worksheet you want to rename, to the worksheet
submenu and choose rename.  Type in the new name and you're in business.
