Tom,
thanks. That's great. Even though I've learned a keyboard command for
approximating this effect while reading a table (I think it's shift insert
num pad 5), being able to set a table to display to Jaws this way will be a
nice addition to that. The hardest thing for me about interpreting a table
with jaws is trying to memorize everything as I go so that I can imagine the
table mentally as if I could still see it. This is a second tool for
simplifying that sometimes very daunting process.
Thanks again.

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:
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
Hope this helps.
Tom
