Insert+F is the command in JAWS 7.x, and Insert+f+f is the command in JAWS 8.x. Daryl gave a good explanation of how to work with the point measurement system, but I still don't know the correlation between the 2 different types of measurements in Excel.

But, I don't understand what units are used. I find that the column width read from the menu bar/format menu give the same in different units. Can someone tell me about the units used for column width?
