JAWS 8 and Excel 2000

If I try to delete a cell by going to the Edit menu and choosing Delete,
the resulting dialogue is misread in two ways:
1. The control with focus as the dialogue opens isn't read.
2. Using arrow keys to move around the control, which is a set of four
radio buttons, causes JAWS to misreport that each one moved to is
unselected, when the very action of moving to the radio button selects
it.

I've had this with two flavours of version 8 - 1163 and 2173 - on
different PCs. JAWS version 6.2 and 7 work okay on the same dialogue,
and JAWS 8 works okay in Excel 2003, so it seems to be very specific to
JAWS and Excel versions.

Is anyone else getting this problem? And if so, have you found a
solution?
