When, as ou cursor through a cell, Window-Eyes dings a lot, it may mean that
the line you are on has been divided into several clips. Highlighting a
single letter might also cause this, but I would guess that after you draw a
cell, an extraneous vertical line gets drawn through it, at least
temporarily. Try Insert-backslash to redraw the screen and see if it cleans
up. Also try moving the mouse pointer or WE cursor by clips using Insert-7,
-8 or -9 on the numeric pad. Knowing that W-E thinks the cell was divided
into smaller pieces will perhaps give you new information to work with. Or
it may just mean that the off-screen model isn't accurate enough.
