Dave: Where you have columns that do not contain the same number of cells, just adjust the command accordingly, as in: A1:A225,C1:C300,F1:F300 You can use the same formula to select portions of a column or columns. As you can see, very flexible. HTH Sincerely: Dave Durber ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Carlson To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 11:30 PM Subject: Re: Excel Question? Dave, Mea culpa. I didn't take heed of your warning to make sure to select the same number of cells in each column. So it appears tat the selection must end up being a nice clean quadrangle to work. Very neat little tip, and I never knew about this. I can think of a number of times this would have saved me a lot of time. Not necessarily JAWS-related, but nice to know, nonetheless.

Claudia: If columns A, C and F have the same number of cells containing data, for example, A1 to A400, C1 to C400, F1 to F400, then do the following: Press the F5 key and type: A1:A400,C1:c400,F1:f400 followed by ENTER. JAWS will tell you that 3 areas of your spreadsheet have been selected and will tell you the range of each column that has been selected. Use the Copy command, CTRL+C to copy the selected cells to the clipboard. Now, you can either move to a blank area of the same spreadsheet or, you can open a new spreadsheet and use the CTRL+V command to paste the text from the clipboard. The 3 columns of data will be pasted into 3 consecutive columns.

Are the collums together or in different locations on the sheet you need ot copy then I can help From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Claudia Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2010 19:01 To: Technology list for the Blind and Vision Impaired; jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Excel Question? Hi All, I'm using JFW 9 & Excel. Is there a way to do the following? I need to take three columns from four different Excel documents d paste them all into one. The reason I can't just copy & paste all four documents into one is because there are 8 total columns on each doc, but I only need to create a report from three! So, can this be accomplished? My program at work has an audit next Tuesday, and I need to create this report by then! Thanks.
