You can set Jaws to automatically read row and/or column titles as follows: 1. Place the cursor in the cell where the row and column titles intersect ie cell A1 if column a contains the row titles and row 1 contains the column titles 2. Press Insert v to open the Jaws verbosity dialog 3. Arrow down to "Title Reading", then use the space bar to toggle to your choice of read column titles/read row titles/read both 4. Down arrow to "Set Column title row range" and press space bar to set it 5. Down arrow to "Set Column title to row range" and press space bar to set it 6. press enter to save settings and exit Verbosity dialog Now as you move through you sheet, titles will be read as you move your cursor around.

Should I try it in an xls file? I'm using xlsx currently. But alt shift c just gives you that bump noise when nothing happens, and the alt shift r opens that stupid review ribbon thing. I wish I had the simple 03 excel with regular easy-to-navigate menus. I'll try...but are there any other suggestions? Any idea if I can get excel 03 and still keep 07 on my comp? Or where I can download it if possible? Jaws just seems to work better with that. Thanks guys.
