WE works with Excel fine. When I started using Excel for the first time it is 
lot of work to learn the tricks like Ctrl and the arrow keys for example. I 
still feel that due to the nature of spread sheet applications sighted people 
can use it nicely as they look for patterns accross cells.

You can certainly go through WE help there is a chapter on Excel. Regarding 
Protected sheets I am also not sure how to go about using it, did you try 
copying the entire data on to another sheet which is not protected?

Regards
Jitendra

Subject: Window-Eyes and Excel Protection of worksheetsand

Hello everyone.

One of our business analysts has prepared a spreadsheet which many of us access 
several times a day.

He has protected the active worksheet, and this has caused me problems with 
Window-Eyes.

When protected- I cannot use functions such as find "ctrl-f" and I cannot read 
column headers.  A third problem is the inability to select from various 
pulldown choices.

When I unprotected the worksheet (I know the password) all is fine and 
everything works as it should.

Sighted people are apparently not having the same problems.  A colleague uses 
Jaws, and I haven't checked with her.



I am new to Excel, and wonder if there is something between it and Window-Eyes 
which make the partnership an unhappy one or is there something else going on?

I have speculated that Windows 2000, and Office 20002 (specifically
Excel) are upset with the Window-Eyes DOM - but I really don't know.

Any comments and suggestions very much appreciated.

Finally: this is Window-Eyes v6.1.


Thanks.

Vaughan.
