Hi again, maybe I have the answer myself.

When I key F2 to read the contents of the cell with the arrow keys, it just 
shows 10 there, so is this perhaps a dictionary thing?

Strange if so, but I'll make a new entry in the excel.jdf file for this.

Hi all,

Excel 2007 and Jaws 17 latest build, Windows 10

When formatting cells in a sheet, I want to select currency and £'s but the
only option I can select is GBP. Every cell contains this and reads as "GBP
10.00" instead of simply £10

Is this a qwerk in the latest Jaws or something in Excel I need to reset
perhaps? I have removed and re installed my Office 2007 Suite twice now and
I'm puzzled.

Cheers, Robin
