Hey, recently there was an email query regarding reading column heading in MS Excel. The query was regarding some JAWS settings. I am unable to answer the query but can provide a solution for reading column headings.
This is an extract from Stafee bleaks website : Alt 1 through 4. This keystroke will read cells located in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rows of the current column. this is useful if you want to glance up and see what is in those cells (usually titles). Alt Ctrl, 1 through 4. These keystrokes will read the cells in the first 4 columns of the current row. Alt, Ctrl, Shift, C. Set column titles to row range. Move to the row within the table where the column titles are located and use the above keystroke command. This will set the column title association to each cell within the table and will allow JAWS to automatically speak the title of the cell while you navigate the table. This will, of course, offer valuable contextual reference to each cell especially with larger, more complex tables. Note: Yes, this keystroke consists of 4 keys. Hold down the Alt, Ctrl and Shift keys and tap the letter C. Note: You will want to use this keystroke when you encounter a table where the title row is located below the 4th row. Alt, Ctrl, Shift, R. Set row titles to column range. Move to the column within the table where the row titles are located and use the above keystroke command. This will set the row title association to each cell within the table and will allow JAWS to speak the title of the cell while you navigate the table. This will, of course, offer valuable contextual reference to each cell. Note: A very useful trick is to move to the cell that intercects both the row and column titles and then perform both the Ctrl Alt Shift R, and Ctrl Alt Shift C keystrokes. This will allow JAWS to speak the row and column titles as you navigate through the table. Hope that helps Regards, VS To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
