Hello Donald,
In Excel 2007 move to the intersection of column and row titles. Press the
application key and down arrow to the "name a range" choice and press enter.
In order to only hear column titles as you arrow across a row type in
"ColumnTitle" (without the quotes and no spaces between the words. Use
mixed case). In order to hear only row titles as you use the down arrow key
type in RowTitle using mixed case and no spacing. If you want to hear both
row and column titles type in the word Title.
I am not at a system with Excel 2003 or earlier but the choice should likely
be under the insert menu and should have to do with naming or defining a
range.
Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 11 beta not reading Titles in Excel!
Hi list,
I started playing with the new JAWS 11 beta last night. Since it is the
beginning of the month, I attempted to update a few spreadsheets. Of
course, I needed to set my Title column and row settings since this is a
new installation of JAWS. Unfortunately, the settings would not be saved
and the titles are never read! After setting to read both column and row
titles and set their cell in the verbosity dialog, JAWS announces
"spreadsheet settings saved". However, the settings have not been saved
and the titles are not read.
Has anyone else noticed this problem? I am following the same procedure I
have used for years, back to JAWS 4.7 I think. Are there extra steps in
JAWS 11?
I know there is a way to embed the title information directly into the
spreadsheet file. This would be handy. Does anyone know how this is
done?
