If the number was written in traditional black text, does JAWS read it? Something tells me that JAWS not, and so I had to change a setting. I'll have to give it some thought.

This works fine for someone with good vision but sucks for the VI'd. I can get the actual value by using the edit key (F2) but this is impractical on a sheet that has hundreds or thousands of entries. I've tried changing some settings with configuration manager without any success. set options > speech and sounds manager select scheme: colors I select foreground color red to be read with a different voice. Does not make any change to the output audio. any ideas? thanks ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Never miss a thing.
