Jaws can be set to read the cells in many ways. There are specific settings in the Quick Settings section.
1. While focused on Excel, press INSERT+V to open the Quick Settings dialog. 2. Arrow down to the beginning of the texdt or use the Search window and type something like "read cell contents". 3. The easiest way is to press the letter T twice. That takes you to a setting indicating that Jaws should read the cell contents. 4. Now use first letter navigation C, pressed twice. 5. You will be in the settings for cells. Here's the great part of Quick Settings. If you aren't sure, just highlight a setting, then tab over and there will be a text box explaining what each setting does. The text explanations change, depending on which parameter you have highlighted currently. Before doing anything, look through these. 6. You can try a change, make a note of it and then if you don't like the results, open up Quick Settings again and try another setting. Excel settings for Jaws are quite extensive. I suggest you figure out what you want to do and then try to find the setting that makes Jaws do that. Reading cell contents is one of those settings. You can also have Jaws read the column or row settings in Excel but that's for another message.

If JAWS does read something, what does it say? It could be that the excel window needs to be maximized is all.
