Robin,
Jaws does indeed distinguish between the 2 types of tables, albeit not
always correctly. There is a setting in the configuration manager for
whether you want Jaws to announce All Tables or only Data Tables.

Jaws does not distinguish between the two. It expects that the table is for
data and not formatting. So If I hit the letter T I will jump to a table
then I can use the table navigation keys to read the data. CLF and W3C aa
state that tables must not be used for formatting purposes.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone know how Jaws distinguishes between what is a true data table
and tables just used for screen layout on a web page?
