Guys - please don't take this topic off list!
I too would like to know the answer!
Probably not the same spreadsheet though.

>> Hi all,
>>
>> I've had a rather odd one recently with Jaws in Excel.
>>
>> I'm using Jaws 6.20 Windows XP Professional and Excel 2000.
>>
>> I have been sent a spread sheet which is fairly regularly laid out with
>> columns and rows with no merged cells. I am trying to get Jaws to read
>> Row
>> 5 where the headings are. In the past this has been a really easy process
>> and everything works well.
>>
>> This time, when I've been through all the settings and marked Row 5 to be
>> the row for the column headings, I tab to the "Close" button and try the
>> Jaws speech. The result is as if I've never set the settings at all!!
>>
>> This is definitely not an issue of not understanding the basic concept as
>> I've done this process for hundreds of other spread sheets. It certainly
>> seems to be related to the time since upgrading to Jaws 6.20 (or possibly
>> Jaws 6.0 initially) but it worked fine in Jaws 5 and before.
>>
>> Does anyone know if there is something that might be wrong with the Excel
>> file that might cause Jaws to ignore my settings and revert to the
>> original
>> settings?
>>
>> Yours rather puzzled,
>>
>> Jamie
