I don't think it is - that certainly isn't where I got it from. As far
as I recall, the JAWS help doesn't go into this amount of detail on
charts, it just covers how to create and read them. I know Freedom
Scientific do an Excel tutorial, but I have no idea what features that
covers or in what depth.
I use JAWS in a professional rather than a personal capacity, so I find
it useful to work out how to do things with JAWS and I can make use of
visual feedback from the screen while I'm trying out ideas.

is all this information that you are providing me in the help as well? I
didn't see it there so this is why I have been asking so many
questions...
and you have been really helpful but I am just curious if I need to
start
doing a lot of reading.
