Yes, I have had this happen, and I have not really figured out why, or a reliable way to stopping it. Try the following
Make sure your window is maximized. Insert+ESC to refresh the screen Alt+Tab away from the file or even away from Excel if you have multiple files open, and then Alt+Tab to return to your file. Try different viewing options. Maybe the view is set to something really large because the last person to save it was sighted and increased the view so that they could read the material.

When I cursor down any of the columns jaws reads text from a previous cell in that same column. The crazy thing is that the text being spoken is not necessarily in the cell directly above my cursor, it could be from a cell four or five rows above. This occurs with both Jaws 8 and 9. Because it happens with both versions of Jaws I'm not convinced that Jaws is the culprit. Mr.... Murphy and his law dictates that this should happen in the midst of year end reports. Thanks for any help.
