Barbara, I wasn't paying attention to what Jaws said about the title line of the doc when it opened. I'm sorry to have misspoken. It *does* open it in Excel. And that doesn't relieve me of the problem of it being a slog to go through this data file list of email addresses with Jaws. Maybe everybody who uses it is used to the way I'm experiencing this document and it's fine as far as they're concerned. But to my mind, it's so terribly sluggish that it makes me just want to forget about it. I guess I'll try to read through it one more time. Thanks again. make me tile ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara" <barbaraanne1@xxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 03, 2009 6:34 PM Subject: RE: What is this .xls document someone sent me?Re: urgent help with document Try opening it in MS Excel. Always, Barbara Anne The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even heard. They must be felt with the heart.

I can tell it's a list of email addresses, each appearing as an active link, so putting Jaws in Say All wouldn't be what I'd want to do. I'd want to be arrowing down through it. But what is this extension, and how does a Jaws user deal with it without such annoyance that he gives up and closes the thing, if he's me? I'd be curious to see what is on this list, but I'm not feeling masochistic enough to spend more time with it if I can't figure out how better to navigate or read its contents. Is there maybe a way to save it to another format that jaws can zip around in more easily?
