Hi Alan Dixie, & Kurtis; Now that y' all solved my problem, when running Excel, should the scroll lock be locked or unlocked? When I press the scroll lock key 1 time, Jaws doesn't say the state of the scroll key. Again, your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take care. Mike

It certainly does emulate what mike was describing. Hope it solves his problem all together. I'm also wondering if this issue has more to do with what version of Excel one is using? I'm still using Office 2000 but I know mike is using excel 2002 Al -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Potter, Kurtis Sent: Monday, February 28, 2011 11:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Beginner to Excel question Mike, You might check the state of the scroll lock key. On a standard keyboard it is between the print screen and pause break keys. Pressing the key twice quickly will change the state and JAWS will tell you the new state. Hope this helps.

Here is my problem. When I open a, .XLS file, my arrow keys don't work most of the time. I thought that checking the box in the configuration manager for showing the virtual viewer on screen , might have fixed the problem. Although, I don't have the slightest idea what checking that box could have done! If I reboot the computer and open an, .XLS file, then the arrow keys will work. I am running XP Home, Office 2002 Home, & Jaws10 thru 12 latest. Would someone please tell me what could be possibly wrong to make these arrow keys not work correctly & consistently? I am using all the default settings, except for that virtual viewer thing. All help will be desperately appreciated / accepted. This arrow thing is driving me up a freaking wall & Doctor Phil under his couch! Thanks much. Take care.
