Thank you. I might not have been using the correct formatting in go to. Will
try again. The forms I'm working with are very cumbersome, with lots of
cells and lots of data and text in cells. With Jaws having trouble reading
and navigating, it's hard sometimes to understand the layout well enough to
even know what to select. I've had some challenges with Excel, but this has
definitely been the biggest so far.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel problems with Jaws
A partial solution is to use goto for selecting text. Either f5 or
control-g gives you the go to dialog box. Then enter what you want to
select. For example if you want to select rows 1 through ten, you would
type f5, then 1:10. You can select contiguous cells, joining them with
colon as above, or non-contiguous cells, joining them with comma.
I would have thought that unloading and reloading JAWS would straighten
things out when you're trying to read, though. Excel is hard for JAWS,
being so densely formatted, but usually unload/reload unscrambles it.
Good luck!
