Mike, Selecting A1 to G5 is easy: go to A1, hold down the shift key and go with your arrow keys to column G, then, still hold the shift key, go to row 5. WE will announce the selection for you.
A name field says me nothing in Excel. Maybe you renamed the sheets in the workbook? I use the mouse keys to do that by pressing 8 to go to the down left corner, then 8 to go up line by line, until I hear sheet1, sheet2, sheet 3.To rename sheet1 just press the right mouse button key and select rename. To rename sheet2 or sheet3 use control-9 to go a clip to the right and then press the right mouse button key and select rename.

I had to use it to do something in class this morning, but I couldn't access it from the ribbon, so the instructor had to click on it for me with the mouse. Also, how do I select a range of cells? For example, the teacher asked the class to select cells A1 through G5, then C 2 through F3. How would I as a window-eyes user do that? Excel is quite foreign to me, but between now and when my class ends in May, I hope to have at least some knowledge as to how to use this software. It seems straight forward for the most part, but I find some of it a little daunting. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Mike Rochester, NY.
