I'm also tired, as I should have said that inserting a row will always put that row ABOVE/BEFORE the one that you have focus on.

The CTRL plus plus sign command can also be used to insert a column if you have focus on a column rather than a row. If you do this, the new column goes in to the LEFT of the one you have focus on.

The CTRL plus minus sign command can be used to delete a row/column depending on which has focus.

Jean,

? ? ? ? ? Also CTRL plus plus sign.? Use number pad plus sign, since if you use the plus sign on the number row it becomes CTRL plus shift plus number row plus sign.

Re: Searching for any Tabs in a Word Document

 

I use this feature a lot also. however, I’ve never had to add a space – – and I usually tap into the edit box and hit backspace to make sure there’s nothing there.
Is there a list of symbols to get rid of things? I’m meaning tab, page breaks, spaces after lines, and things of that nature? It would be pretty nice to have since I’ve not been able to Google one up for myself.

Re: Annoying excel issue - reading cells

 

I restarted Jaws and looked in all the settings but nothing seemed different than it should be. I don't have specific settings for excel set. I looked around for a good 15 minutes, then gave up and restarted my computer. Problem solved! I still have no idea what was wrong but whatever it was it seems to be fixed now.

Thank you so much for the suggestions!

That seems like a unique problem.
Try going into Quick Settings using Insert Plus V if you are in Excel, and see if anything is on or off that shouldn't be.
Also try going into the JAWS Settings Center in the Utilities Menu of JAWS.
Have you tried unloading JAWS with Insert Plus F4 and reloadingg with Alt Plus Control Plus J?

New Word and Excel Course Available

 

Hello,

I have created a course for sale through Commtech USA, an accessible
technology company, which presents basic and advanced features of
Microsoft Word and the basics of Excel for screen reader users, with
an emphasis on JAWS though I also worked to make it useful for NVDA
users. It includes about an hour of audio content, and some written
material including quizzes so you can see your progress in
understanding the audio content. I also provide support sessions for
the course for interested customers, including answering questions
about features which I may not have gotten to in the course.

The link to find the course is here



I know there are other resources for Word and Excel; this one should
work for people who want audio content but cannot commit to weekly
sessions.

Best,
Skylar Covich, PH.D.

I don’t know if this is the cause of your problem but I’m wondering if your scroll lock has been turned on. Try pressing the scroll lock key and let us know if that fixes the problem.

Re: Title of column or row in Excel

 

Barry,


I would think that the only thing you'd actually need with actual headings used in the spreadsheet is the table for date/work/hours.

All the rest of your fields would have the label read as you went down the first column of the spreadsheet prior to the table and I'd imagine the next cell over, a single tab away, is where you'd enter your data.

Apologies to both Alan and Joyce, as I'm really not trying to steal anyone's thunder, but have a look at and see if it meets your needs.? I have included some spacing with blank rows since you say this will likely be printing this, and whitespace is important to us sighted folks!

Re: Title of column or row in Excel

Hi Barry,
This spreadsheet is definitely doable. Would you be putting more than one line of information per day? What I mean is, would you put 2.5 hours on September 24 for one task, 2.5 hours on September 24 for a second task, or would you be combining the tasks into one line of data with 5.0 hours that day? Also, would you need a year to date total along the way?
One thing I can do very quickly is create a spreadsheet with what you want and the formatting it looks like you want and share a link with you. Please let me know if you would like to try and do this.

Thanks, Alan.

The spreadsheet is for some voluntary work I’m doing for a charity.? I think I need to give you the details of what I want.?

On row one, I want the title of ‘September Monthly Record’ for September, which will obviously change each month.? I thought I’d just put this in column B as I’m only using three columns at the most.

On row 2, I want ‘Work for in column a as a heading then the address of the charity in column b.

On row 3, I want ‘Carried out by’ as a heading in column a then my name in column b and my email address in column c.

On row 4, I want ‘Reports to’ as a heading in column a then their name in column b and their email in column c.

I will leave a row space before putting the next lot of data that will go like this:

In row six, I want three headings across the columns: Date, Work carried out, then hours.

The hours then need a sum to add them up, but, ideally, I’d like this as a running total as I have a fixed number of hours that I should be doing each month.

There is a chance that these worksheets will be printed off.

So, what do you think?? Is it possible?? Is Excel the right app for this?

Barry,

I need to clarify my understanding of what you're trying to do in item 1. It sounds to me as if you want two regions on the same worksheet tab. The first region will consist of two rows plus a heading row and the second region will consist of expanding rows for which one of the columns will be an amount and the second column will contain a running total of the previous column amount. It also sounds as if you want to have Excel announce the applicable row title or column heading for each region as you navigate among the cells in each.

?

I'd be happy to give instructions of how to do this but I'd much prefer that you post back to confirm this and to also give more details of what you expect to place in specific cells.

?

To answer your question 2, I'm going to give an example of a checkbook spreadsheet with the following row 1 headings in each column:

?

A - Date

B - Check number

C - Description

D - Amount

E - Running total

?

With this example, you'd start entering your actual checks in row 2. Cell E2 should contain the formula =E1+E2. Since E1 is a column heading, it will be treated as a 0 and the running total for your first check will equal its amount. When you copy the cell E2 formula down the remaining rows where you intend to enter more checks, it will automatically add the running total from the previous row to the check amount on the current row giving you a running total for new amounts entered in column D of future rows.

?

I'll tell you the steps to get Excel to speak the column headings and row titles for each region after you clarify my questions in paragraph one.
