Hello Ming, The only way I have found to have the entire column or entire row read in Excel 2007 is to list the data and then use a SayAll command on the list. It doesn't seem very efficient but it will work. You list cells in the column by using JAWS key with shift+c. You list the row entries by using shift+JAWS key+R. Use JAWS key with down arrow when the list is in focus. Unfortunately, the row or column coordinates are read for each entry during the SayAll.
The column reading command is CTRL+JAWS key+up arrow. However, it only reads the portion of the column that is on the screen and visible at the time. It appears that the JAWS scripts are written so that only the part of the column showing is read with the column reading command. I don't think there is a command for reading the entire row except for listing all the items in cells of a row using the shift+JAWS key+R. If you select a column using CTRL+spacebar or a row using shift+spacebar and then try using the SayAll command, JAWS will tell you there are too many cells in the range and only the first and last will be read. JAWS will read the first one and tell you the last cell in the column or row that is selected. I found no difference when I used different views in Excel. It appears that the only way you can have the entire row or column read when data extends into cells beyond the visible portion of the screen is to list them and then use a SayAll command. Take care.
