Hi Kevin,
I created a drop box in an Excel sheet and just moved to the cell and
pressed alt and down arrow and the box opened. Not really aware of any other
kind of drop box, but if you could give an example I might be able to
replicate?
John.

Hi John.
That works for some drop down boxes integrated into excel sheets but there
is another use of drop down lists where there is a small graphical arrow in
the cell and JAWS can't recognise this. Placing the JAWS cursor over the
graphic with the help of a sighted colleague and then issuing a left mouse
click will open the drop down list but otherwise, I haven't found any other
way of activating this latter type of drop down.
Regards.
