Hello Sorry for the repost but nobody responded to my first try. Perhaps there is not a way. Using JAWS 7.10 and above together with Excel 2000 (though I suspect the same would apply for later versions) Can somebody tell me please how to adjust JAWS so that "cell text visibility" is spoken by default. I know this can be changed using the verbosity menu and that these settings can be saved for this particular workbook using control+enter but I would like to change the default so that this automatically happens each time excel is opened. I have looked in configuration manager under verbosity settings and then preferences but could not see anything. Any suggestions appreciated.
