Hi. What Jaws calls the Jaws cursor we call the mouse pointer because
when you use the mouse pointer, you can do all sorts of things like
browsing the screen and getting the information as it appears on the screen.
Many thanks.

Well, in Word, when a Word document is "protected", all those same
limitations apply, and they apply to sighted users as well; I'm not sure
you have any problem your jaws using coworker doesn't also have. In
these case I either unprotect the word document or use the jaws cursor
(I'm too new to window eyes to know what to call it).
In Word, and I'm sure this is the same in all office apps, even access
to the information contained in the object model for the document is
restricted when it's protected, and a program trying to get at the
information will throw an error in those cases (I have to program around
this here where I work by unprotecting the document to get at the
information, then re-protecting it, and this only works when there's no
password).
Sorry about the inconvenience, but I think it's in the MS Office design
for protected documents, and not in any screen reader.
Chip

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.
