Hello Vicky, I am not sure why you would want to do such a function, but I don't know of a way to do it without using the JAWS cursor. JAWS recognizes the end of cell marker as a new line marker when using PC cursor. When the cursor is on the new line marker you can use JAWS key with home key to read text in the cell, but everything to the right is treated as a new line. As soon as you use right arrow key to move off of the end of cell marker, the JAWS key with home key will not read anything but the JAWS key with page up key will read info in the cell into which focus moved. If you move the cursor to the end of cell marker and route JAWS to PC then you can use JAWS key with home key to read the cell's information on the left and use JAWS key with page up to read the rest of the line going right. To move on to the paragraph marker you will likely need to show all marks by using Alt key followed by H followed by 8 if using Word 2007. Use the same key sequence to turn off showing of the markers.
Take care.
