Hi William, no haven't got that adventurious that I would try writing macros. Mind you, if I hang around on this list, I think I will soon catch the bug smile. I was just told that some of the study texts I will be using in a month or so, work best with macros turned on. I am hoping that they wont cause Jaws any trouble when I do. I don't know what the texts are, but I don't think they are spreadshits or anything like that. Where would I find the macros menu you speak of? Sorry if this is straying off topic David. thanks Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Stephan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 30, 2007 3:27 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] MS-Excel documents looking like crap.
