Hi, here it is. this only applies to jaws 17 and 18. Earlier version of jaws
doesn't give us access to the source code we need.
I do not have win 10 so I can't be sure whether the path to the file is the
same as win 7. These instructions are put together using win 7.
to change announcement of cell content and coordinates to coordinates and cell
content do the following
1. Copy the excelFunc.jss file from
"C:\ProgramData\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\17.0\Scripts\"
And paste in to
"C:\Users\your user Id\AppData\Roaming\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\18.0\Settings\enu\"
2. Open excel
3. Press JawsKey + 0 on the number row to open the script manager with
the excel script loaded.
4. Press control + O to open the list of files, it is a standered dialogue
5. Look for the file ExcelFunc.jss and press enter. This will bring up
the script set we want to work with.
6. Search for ReadActiveCell, it should be the second occurrence. The
line should read void function ReadActiveCell(optional int
bForceReadCoordinates)
7. Here we are going to cut and paste the following line
SayCellText(cXLActiveCell.text) which should be the next line
8. Move 12 lines down press enter for a new line and paste the line you
cut in there. The script should look like the following:
void function ReadActiveCell(optional int bForceReadCoordinates)
if cXLActiveCell.mergeCells
&& MergedCellsAnnounce() then
SayFormattedMessageWithVoice(vctx_message,ot_JAWS_message,msgMergedCells,cmsgSilent)
EndIf
SayObjectCellInfo(oXLActiveCell)
if CellReadingVerbosity() == readCellContentsAndCoordinates ||
bForceReadCoordinates then
if cXLActiveCell.mergeCells then
SaySelectedRange(true)
else
SayCellCoordinates(cXLActiveCell,ot_position)
endIf
endIf
SayCellText(cXLActiveCell.text)
if NumberFormatVerbosity () then
DetectActiveCellFormatChange()
EndIf
if CellBorderVerbosity() then
detectActiveCellBorderChange()
EndIf
if cXLActiveCell.ContainsErrors then
sayMessage (OT_ERROR, msgCellContainsErrors)
endIf
EndFunction
9. Press control + S to compile the script
10. Close the jaws script manager with alt + F4
In the event you wish to change back to the original navigate to
"C:\Users\your user Id\AppData\Roaming\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\18.0\Settings\enu\"
And delete the ExcelFunc.jsb file
I hope this helps
