Hi Tim, I don't use Excel so don't have any experience of it's specific keystrokes. I wonder, however, if the keystroke to open a list as used in IE might help. This is alt+cursor down. After that, you should be able to cursor up or down the list. HTH, Phil Medway. ----- Original Message ----- From: <tim.pennick@xxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 06, 2005 5:08 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Drop-down lists in Excel fields Hi All, I'm using JAWS 6.10 with Excel 2000 on W2K. Recently, I've had a couple of spreadsheets to fill in, which have a list of options you can choose from as a way of completing some of the cells. When I move through the spreadsheet and land on one of these fields, JAWS says "input message". Apparently, there is a button to click next to the field, which allows you to open up the list of options. However, I can't find a way of opening the list using JAWS, although once someone else has clicked on the relevant button, JAWS can read the list, and I can select an entry. Does anyone know how or if, you can deal with these options lists in Excel with JAWS? (I thought I'd cracked it, when I hit the Applications key, and found an entry in the context menu, which said "pick from list", but selecting this, didn't seem to do anything.) Any help gratefully accepted.
