Insert F1 did bring up a JAWS window with information about the current file and worksheet, but I could not find any information about column width. Am I over looking it?
I've read over quite a bit in the JAWS help and could not find out anything on finding out the width of a column or cell. I find it hard to believe that there is not a JAWS command for obtaining this info. Any other ideas?

I woke up in the middle of the night to realize that I meant to say insert-f1. It will give the column with. Insert-f1-f1 is another function altogether. Thanks for the catch.
