Also, control and ` (the key located just above the tab key) will show the formula in a given cell - can't say if this is applicable in Office 2007 since I have not used it.

Hello Perry, I am using JAWS 10 and Excel 2007. The methods might be a little different for earlier versions of Excel and/or JAWS. To hear the formula spoken use JAWS key with CTRL and function key 2. JAWS key is the big zero key on the number pad when number lock is off. If using the laptop configuration then use the caps lock key with CTRL and F2 to hear the formula spoken. If you hold down the JAWS key with CTRL key and press F2 twice, the formula will be shown in a dialog box. You can use JAWS key B to read the box or use the JAWS cursor to read it. Use escape key to dismiss the dialog. Another way to read the formula is to move to the cell that contains the formula and press function key 2 to move into edit mode. Press home key to move to the beginning of the formula and then use right arrow key if you want to read it character by character. use escape key to move out of the edit mode. If I remember correctly, in earlier versions of Excel and JAWS the command to hear the formula was just CTRL with function key 2. Holding down CTRL and pressing function key 2 twice would bring focus to the formula bar where you could use arrow keys to review the formula. Take care.
