Here's what the manual says:-
 
"Reading HTML Tables
The default setting for reading HTML table titles has changed so that JAWS
now conforms to industry defined HTML standards by only reading table
headers that are properly marked up. You can see this when using the
CTRL+ALT+ARROW Keys to move through an HTML table.
 
While the default setting is now set to Only Marked Headers, you can
continue to use earlier functionality for reading HTML tables if you are
more comfortable with those settings. To change settings, press INSERT+V to
open JAWS options, and then press T to move to the Table Titles Announce
option. Next, press SPACEBAR to cycle through and select a new setting, and
then ENTER to save the change.
 
Remember that you can always use Personalized Settings (INSERT+SHIFT+V) to
customize how JAWS reads table column and row headers on any given Web site,
without modifying how JAWS reads table headers on other Web sites.
 
For more information about reading HTML tables, visit the Tables section of
Freedom Scientific's Surf's Up."
 
Refer to what's new in Jaws 12.
 
?Cheers,
Amro

Hi all

Does anyone know how to get JAWS to read the titles of columns across a
table in an html document - I need to navigate through a table and need it
to read each title header as I go.

Thanks.

Wendy
