Topic: About the Task Pane

 

Introduction.  The Task Pane is a new feature in Excel 2002 or later . The
Task Pane displays commands related to frequently used features. The
contents of the Task Pane change, depending on the task you are performing.
For instance, commands related to opening a workbook appear in the Task Pane
when you open Excel.

 

The Task Pane appears next to the document window. You can move the focus to
the Task Pane by pressing the Alt key and then Ctrl-Tab. Once in the Task
Pane you can select commands by pressing Tab or the Arrow keys.

 

 

Exercise Objective.  In the following exercise, you will review the contents
of the Task Pane.

 

 

Exercise: Reviewing the Task Pane

Complete the following five steps to review the contents of the Task Pane.

 

Step 1:  Press Insert-T to verify Excel is the active program. JAWS
announces, "Title Equals Microsoft Excel - Book1."

 

Step 2:  Press the Alt key to move the focus to the menu bar. JAWS
announces, "Menu Bar  File."

 

Step 3:  Move to the Task Pane by pressing Ctrl-Tab until JAWS  announces,
"Task Pane  New Workbook  Blank Workbook Link."

 

Step 4:  Press Tab or the Down Arrow key repeatedly to review the commands
in the Task Pane.

 

Currently, the commands in the Task Pane relate to creating a new workbook
or opening an existing workbook. 

 

Step 5:  Press Escape to return the focus to the worksheet. JAWS  announces,
"Leaving Task Pane  Blank  A1."

 

 

Hiding the Task Pane.  If you are no longer using the Task Pane, you can
hide it by unchecking the Task Pane command on the View menu.  The Task Pane
will remain hidden until you choose another feature that displays a command
in the Task Pane or until you exit the Excel program.

Topic: About the Adjust JAWS Verbosity Dialog Box

 

Introduction.  You can use the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog box to change
settings that affect the amount and type of information that JAWS  reads.
When you open this dialog box from the Excel program, it will contain
settings you can adjust for the Excel program. For instance, you can change
the amount of information that JAWS  reads for the selected cell. By
default, JAWS  reads the cell's coordinates and content when you select it.
You can change this setting so that JAWS  only reads the cell's contents.

 

JAWS  will save the changes you make to the verbosity settings. It will
continue to use the verbosity settings you chose until you make another
change.

 

This tutorial uses the default settings in the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog
box. When you need to make a change, you will be directed to do so.

 

 

Exercise Objective.  In the following exercise, you will open and review the
default settings in the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog box for the Microsoft
Excel program.

 

 

Exercise: Reviewing the Adjust JAWS Verbosity Dialog Box

Complete the following five steps to review the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog
box.

 

Step 1:  Press Insert-T to verify Excel is the active program. JAWS
announces, "Title Equals Microsoft Excel - Book1."

 

Step 2:  Press Insert-V to open the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog box. JAWS
announces, "List Box Cell Verbosity  Contents plus Coordinates 1 of 25."

 

The focus is in the Adjust JAWS Verbosity list box.

 

This dialog box has a list box, Close button, and Execute button.

 

Step 3: Press Insert-Tab to read the current setting. JAWS  announces, "List
Box  Cell Verbosity  Contents plus Coordinates 1 of 25."

 

Step 4:  Press the Down Arrow key repeatedly to review the settings.

 

To change a setting, select the setting. Then, use the Spacebar or the
Execute button to cycle through the options. When you have selected the
setting you prefer, change another setting or activate the Close button.

 

Step 5:  When you have finished reviewing the dialog box, press Tab until
the Close button is selected. Then, press Enter to activate the button.

 

JAWS  accepts any changes you may have made and closes the dialog box. If
you made changes, JAWS  will announce, "Application Settings Saved."

 

 

What You Learned.  In this topic, you learned:

 

You can use the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog box to change settings that
affect the amount and type of information that JAWS  reads.

Verbosity dialog box will contain settings you can adjust for the Excel
program.

Topic: Exiting Excel

 

Introduction.  This topic explains how to exit Excel. If you made changes to
a workbook since the last time you saved it, a dialog box will prompt you to
save it before exiting Excel. To prevent mishaps, you should always save
your workbooks before you activate the Exit command. If you exit Excel
without saving your workbook, you will not be able to retrieve any changed
information in the workbook. If you created a new workbook and chose not to
save it, the workbook is not available for future use.

 

The Exit command appears on the File menu. This tutorial directs you to use
the keyboard shortcut Alt-F4 when exiting Excel.

 

 

Exercise Objective.  In this exercise, you will exit Excel without saving
the 

Book1 workbook.

 

 

Exercise: Exiting Excel

Complete the following two steps to exit Excel without saving Book1.

 

Step 1:  Press Insert-T to verify Excel is the active program. JAWS
announces, "Title Equals  Microsoft Excel - Book1."

 

Step 2:  Press Alt-F4 to exit Excel. 

 

When the Excel program closes, JAWS  reads the current focus. Book1 has not
been saved.

 

 

What You Learned.  In this topic, you learned:

 

You can press Alt-F4 to exit Excel.

 

If you made changes to a workbook since the last time you saved it, a
Microsoft Excel dialog box appears prompting you to save the workbook before
exiting Excel. 

 

When the Excel program closes, JAWS  reads the current focus.
