An advantage of setting up the row and column title reading as I described is
that if you send the workbook to someone else the title reading is already set
up and they have to do nothing.

Using the JAWS verbosity menu is not the prefered way to have row and column
titles spoken. You can find a detailed explaination of the better way to do
this in the JAWS help for Excel.
Here is how it should be done.
In the Excel INSERT menu choose name and then define and enter this with your
cursor in cell A6:
Title.a6.W17.X
Where X is the number of the worksheet in the work book.
There are other options when there are multiple regions on a worksheet.
In the above example note the capital in Title.

That was the first thing that I tried and it said that these were already
defined, yet it was not working. I tried to manually do it again to get it
started and that did not work. Is there a command or something to make it do
what is already defined?
Thanks,

If you mean what I think you mean, you set using the first row and the
first column. Hitting the spacebar will either define a value, or supersede
what is already there. The headings are row values to column range, and column
values to row range.

Subject: Setting up Rows and Columns to be read by JFW
Hi,
I had a computer crash at work and I am trying to get everything set back
up. The problem that I have right now is setting the rows and columns for my
timesheet to be read as I go across and down the spreadsheet entering my hours.
In the past, I went into the insert v window and went to Title Reading
and set it according to what I thought was correct for reading the columns from
A6 to W6. For the rows I wanted the A6 through A17 to be read as I went across
and filled in the hours.
I have been able to get this to work in the past, but now I have gotten
myself very confused and it seems that everything that I try does not work.
Can someone tell me the exact items that I need to change to achieve the
above settings?
I am using JFW version 11 and Excel version 2003.
Thanks for any help,
Eileen La Fond
