This is being forwarded to the Jaws-UK list at the request
of Rachel Graff, whom I forwarded Mr. Wood's enquiry to as
she is a very proficient Jaws and Power Braille 40 user.

Rachel says:

If you go into Line mode with the PB40, you should be able
to see a number of cells displayed across your display.  I'm
assuming, though, that you already know this, since you say
that on some worksheets you've been able to do this.  If
you're not famiiar with Line mode, though, press the Left
and Right buttons, which are the square buttons on either
end of the display, together continuously to cycle through
the available modes within JAWS:
Speech History, Text Attribute Indicators, Line, and
Structured.

You'll know which is Speech History mode because the display
will say so.  If you play with these different modes, you
should be able to get into Line mode and hopefully see as
many cells as can fit across your display.

If you knew all of this already, and hence, have learned
nothing new from this message, you can subscribe to the
PBD-L list, a list for those using paperless Braille
displays; and maybe someone there can help you.  To
subscribe, send a message to
pbd-l-subscribe-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Then follow the instructions in the e-mail you will receive
from the server on how to send a message to the list.

Sorry I can't be of more assistance to you.
Rachel

Dear Tia and list:

By way of a cc of this message, I am referring your query to
Rachel Graff, a friend of mine in New York, NY USA who is
both an Excel and a very experienced Power Braille user.

If she cannot answer your question, she probably knows
someone who can, or you could try the:

Pbd-l list but I don't have its address to hand.

Hi all

How can I get power Braille 40 to display several cells on
the same row.
On my main business sheets it works, but my accountant has
sent me a file where only the active cell is shown!

TIA
