Hi Mike,

sorry for the delay in answering this.

this is a little tricky, and I only know exactly how to do it in 2003; I've
got 2010 at work, and I could look it up after the holidays if you need me
to; the basic idea will be the same though, only the exact key commands will
be different.

you basically put a  dec tab definition for each cell by   selecting the
entire column using the table menu (in there is a submenu for select, and in
there is a choice for selecting the current column).  your dec-tab spacing
will be relative to the left edge of the cell, and will be where the
decimals will be positioned.  So you select the column, choose the format
menu, and choose tabs.  in the tabs dialog, you create a dec-tab, choose
"set", and then choose "ok".  (since you know what a dec-tab is, I'm
assuming you understand you enter a value for the tab spacing, and find the
radio button for the type of tab and set it to dec-tab).


you then enter a tab in front of each number in it's cell by using control
tab (so it doesn't interpret the tab as a command to move out of the cell).
window eyes will unfortunately not read these cells and tell you about the
dec-tab, but will tell you how much the  number in this particular cell is
indented so it's decimal ends up at the desired offset from the edge.  I
think this isn't clear, so I may modify my Word script so it announces when
a dec-tab is present.

hth,

Chip

Subject: setting decemal tabs in a table with Window-eyes

Hello fellow Window-eyes users,
For any of you who have ever had to do it, is there an accessible way to set
decemal tabs within a table using Window-eyes? By decemal tab, I'm basically
looking for an accessible method I can use to lign up numbers within a table
using Window-eyes. Thanks in advance for any help.
