With respect: that really does not deal with my question. I agree
with everything you have said, but actually - the problem at this
stage of my understanding appears directly related to the interaction
between Window-Eyes and Excel on at least one specific installation.

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?

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.
