Chris and others, It turned out not to matter that the Edit menu didn't present the same options for selecting and copying to clipboard as some thought it would. I just Control I'd to copy the entire doc to the clipboard, then pasted it into a new Notepad file (Word would've done fine, as would Wordpad), and now I can make sense of it. Ah, so much for that. Thanks to all who tried to help. I guess I didn't have to learn how to use Excel with Jaws. Life is short. That wasn't something I figured it would be necessary for me to devote time to. I was right. By the way, for what difference it might make in what that Edit menu offers, I just checked and found that this is Excel 2003 that I've got. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
