Carol,

Thanks for sharing the solution. I just learned about a year's worth of 
information in a single message. And boy, I sure could have made my life 
easier many times in the past if I'd known it.

Dave

Hi again,

Got it to work. Gary's reply led me to try various JAWS keys and I 
discovered that Jaws sees these as graphic so Ins + Z to switch on 
accelerator keys the G to cycle through graphics. Once at spreadsheet Jaws 
tells you that it's an embedded spreadsheet. To select its simply Shift + 
right arrow and right click gives you the context menu which inculdes an 
option "linked worksheet object" with sub-option "open link".

Quickest route is simply on arrow down to spreadsheet, select it by shift + 
right arrow then bring up context menu by right-click button (or by shift + 
f10) and then from context menu choose "linked worksheet object" with 
sub-option "open link".

That's great.

Thanks
Carol

Carol,
Try bringing up a list of links in MS Word with JAWS Key+F7, just as you
would in a browser, and press Enter on the link.  That worked for me when I
put a link in Word to a spreadsheet on my computer.
