Yes, I have done that. I definitely think it is a JAWS problem. I am not certain they think so. They did not admit it to me at least. I wish that FS in general would provide feedback that they recognize bugs or at least that it is being investigated. Half of the time I think it gets placed in the circular file. FS Tech Support is excellent and is very helpful. But I don't get a comfortable feeling that bugs discovered get directed properly. For all I know, this is just a perception problem on my part and it does get done.

Try to copy the info into a uncriptive work sheet, and save that file regularly. Then see if you got the same problem. If you do then it is a jaws issue, and being passed over like some many bugs known of by FS!

Has anyone ever used an Excel spreadsheet that has been encrypted and password protected? I have financial spreadsheets that I have used for years that I thought would be smart to protect from prying eyes. I used the "encrypt document" option in the "prepare" submenu in Office 2007. I have created an encrypted XLS file and an XLSX file that is in XML format. All of this works great. But, if I press F2 on a cell, JAWS 9 or 10 can not read anything! If I type in something or change the cell contents and press Enter, the contents is changed. FS Tech Support was not able to help and suggested there was not a problem with any other users. They recommended that I uninstall and reinstall MS Office. Since MS Office was preinstalled on this computer and I don't readily know where the CD might be, I simply performed a repair and then changed the Office components and right clicked on the top level of the tree and selected "run all from my computer". This did not, as I suspected, solve the problem. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas how to fix this?
