Hi Graham, We are using the Windows Command Line Interface (CLI) to connect to a software which allows us to configure network storage devices (RAIDs). This software program can be accessed via most command prompts (such as the Windows CLI). There are many commands where we can display information in table form (the table in CLI appears as text only of course but there are spaces between headers and cells displaying the output. JAWS reads these table outputs non-stop, and we are wondering whether we can tell JAWS to read these outputs as a tables (cell by cell) and indicate that it has reached the end of a line. Commas in cells also is interpreted by JAWS as a pause, when in fact a comma is used in the software to illustrate a comma and to allow the data to be exported to a comma separated file. I can email screen shots to illustrate if that's easier? Hina.
