I am using excel to type in text, rather than figures, and last night I discovered I am having difficulties editing a cell. I press F2 to go into cell edit, but jaws just stays at the beginning of the cell and will only read the first letter of the cell. Normally, I am able to move around as in a word document, and edit, or delete as necessary. I've tried both Jaws 6 and 5.10, but am having the same problem. I'm using office XP. It seems like there's something in the way, but I don't know what or how to get rid of it. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very grateful. Thanks. Sharon
