Hi Vaughan, Window-Eyes has features such as Column and Row headers to have these read automatically. You can also setup Monitor cells, which may be useful to you. I have two recommendations: One would be to read Section 21 of the Window-Eyes manual, which covers Excel. The other would be to sign up for Window-Eyes training, as Excel is part of the training. You can find details for the training class at www.gwmicro.com/training.

In my job I access on a regular basis a large spreadsheet, used to track a growing quantity of client based data. The workbook has multiple worksheets - these will increase quite rapidly. The workbook is as they say - "under construction" so now is the right time to get it right. I want to improve the accessibility of the entire workbook, and of course, I use Window-Eyes. I understand Window-Eyes's verbosity features, but wonder if there are Excel features that can be turned on. I want t5o be able to have column headers read automatically as I tab and shift-tab across to the correct cells for the data to be entered. Is the Excel comment system the best approach (similar to how to create accessible Word forms) or are there other techniques to try. Currently using Office 2002 on Windows 2000 with Window-Eyes v6.1.
