Angela, I didn't respond yesterday as I don't remember where my old EXCEL notes are and it's been probably ten years now since I did the charts bit. I do recall though that the most important thing was that, because JAWS wasn't too good in reading them in those days, you needed to move your cursor methodically to where you wanted to go, always starting from the Home position. This may give your tutors an idea for showing you where you need to be . . .. The person who originally taught me may well still be at the Redhill College. In any case, if you get no response from lists then I suggest you try either the IT (or whatever you're called these days) course tutors at Loughborough or Redhill. Hope this might help a bit and that someone else may know how to do what you need. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angela Bartram" <maudlinmertle@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2007 1:10 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: How to change scale of value axes in Excel Charts- please help! > Thanks for your response Jim but I did already know that.
