I have always had a sense that JAWS struggles with the Excel program. Excel is slower than other programs to load. You do have to wait until JAWS stops speaking.
It does sometimes happen that for whatever reason, the worksheet does lock-up and you cannot move around through the worksheet. My solution for this is to restart your computer. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan MacIsaac Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 6:46 AM To: 'Victor Gouveia'; [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Problems using Microsoft Excel with Jaws Hi Victor, In my case, no matter how long I wait, I cannot move around the worksheet. I wait until Jaws finishes speaking the messages and I wait longer and I am still unable to move around the worksheet. I have even left it for about 5-10 minutes with no luck. I wish I could narrow down what is happening and I am still convinced that there is a bug or setting in Jaws that is causing the problem.

In other words, a bit of patience goes a long way. Smile. Just wait a bit once you hear that spoken message, and see if Jaws eventually says what I mentioned above.
