What version of Jaws/operating system are you using?
I have tried specifiying row and column title reading on a spreadsheet for =
the first time and after a few problems I have managed to get it working (u=
sing JFW 7.0/Windows 2000). What does Jaws announce the column row ranges =
are when you open the verbosity dialog?=20
Couple of suggestions, make sure you only have the diary and Excel applicat=
ions open so alt + tab just toggles between them and use Windows d to get t=
o the Desktop rather than Windows m,which minimises your open applications=
and may explain why Excel has to reload its parameters.
Cheers
Chris

Subject: [jaws-uk] Excel problem
Hello,
I'm looking at a sheet in Excel which is a timetable of lectures, with hour=
s=20
across row 4 and days down column a. I've got a few problems:
1. I'm not able to get JAWS to read column and row titles. It seems to=20
behave inconsistently. I set title reading to both, and set the row and=20
column title ranges. It's hard to describe exactly what JAWS is reading=20
because I'm very tired of the problem and it just seems to be reading=20
different things when I do the same movements. Is this because there are=20
cells that span more than one column/row?
2. Because of not being able to get JAWS to read the column/row titles=20
automatically I press alt shift c or r to read them. This is working on my=
=20
latest attempt but wasn't previously - and to my knowledge I haven't change=
d=20
anything. Any ideas why? Before JAWS would often just stay silent.
3. I keep needing to switch away from Excel to my diary and back again.=20
Every now and then my computer/JAWS freezez when I try to switch back to=20
Excel. I wait for a bit, getting no response from JAWS, then I press=20
Windows m to get to the desktop which works, then I'm able to switch back t=
o=20
Excel. Also, sometimes when I switch back I get the dialog which usually=20
comes when first opening Excel - where JAWS says "Gathering required=20
information. Ok button". Any ideas why this is?
