Hi Clarence,
Actually, there is an entire section in the manual about using Excel.
However, I've pasted the cell-related hot keys below:
Cell-Related Hot Keys
The following hot keys are available to you when working with cells:
Alt-Shift-C = Read Comment -- This hot key will read the comment for the
active cell.
Alt-Shift-F = Read Formula -- When pressed once, this hot key will read
the formula
for the active cell. When pressed twice, this hot key will spell the
formula for
the active cell.
Alt-Shift-P = Previous Cell -- This hot key will move focus back to the
cell that
was active before the current cell became active.
F2 -- This is an Excel hot key that allows you to edit the current cell.
When pressed,
Window-Eyes will speak "edit mode." Press Escape to get out of edit mode
and cancel
any changes. Press Enter to get out of edit mode and accept any changes.
You will
also hear Window-Eyes say "edit mode" if you start typing data into a cell.
Insert-Numpad-Plus = Mouse To Focus -- When pressed, Window-Eyes will
route the mouse
to the center of the active cell or selected object.
Control-Shift-N = Field Name -- When pressed, Window-Eyes will read the
position of
the active cell. If a defined header is found, only the defined header
will be read.
If there is no defined header, the cell position will be read. The
second press of
this hot key will always read the cell position, along with any defined
header.
Control-Shift-D = Field Data -- When pressed, Window-Eyes will read the
data of the
active cell. The second press will spell the contents. The third press
will spell
the contents phonetically.
Control Page-Up and Control Page-Down -- Excel hot keys that move
backward and forward
through the worksheets of the current workbook. By default, the new
worksheet name
will be read, followed by the active cell.
Control-Shift-S = Speak Summary -- When pressed once, Window-Eyes will
speak the cell
information using the current verbosity options. When pressed a second
time, Speak
Summary will speak cell information forcing all verbosity options on for
the current
worksheet (note that only those elements that exist will be spoken). If
a header
has been defined for the active cell, speak summary will read the
header. If there
is no header and the position verbosity check box is checked, then the
current cell
position will be read. Note that the cell contents will always be read.
You can choose
to hear info relative to the worksheet or workbook via the verbosity option.
Control-Shift-M = Highlighted Block -- When pressed, Window-Eyes will
speak the range
of cells that are selected, as well as which cell is currently active.
For example,
if cells A5 through H11 are selected, and A5 is the active cell,
Window-Eyes will
say, "Selected A5 to H11, active cell A5." The second press will provide
more information
about the selection. In the same example above you would hear, "Selected
A5 to H11,
A5 blah, H5 blah, A11 blah, H11 blah 7 rows 8 columns, active cell A5,"
where "blah"
is the cell's contents. Note that if a cell is blank, then the cell is
not read on
the second press. Also, if a defined header is set up for any of the
cells being
read, the header will be spoken.
hth,
Rod

Does anyone know how to access the comments in a spreadsheet?
I would like to use comments in a spreadsheet, but I cannot figure out
how to move Window-Eyes to the comment field.
