Hi,Let me see if I can explain this clearly. It has to do with the way that tables are presented to you on web pages.
By default, JAWS 7 and 8 set the document presentation mode to simple layout. Suppose you have a table with 3 columns and 3 rows. As you use your down arrow to read down the page and encounter this table, each cell in the table would appear to be on a separate line. Thus each of the nine table cells would appear one after another in a vertical fashion, like this
Table has 3 columns and 3 rows Model Description Price STD JAWS for Windows Standard Edition $995.00 PRO JAWS for Windows Professional Edition $1185.00 Table End . Get the picture?Now, when you set document presentation mode to screen layout. instead of encountering each cell as a separate line item, again using your down arrow, you'd find that each table row appears on its own line, and the complete row would be read to you, as follows:
