Hello, David F and Eric D,
wow! Thank you both, for all this Excel Check Book information
and assistance. Yet, I may have a loaded question. Can either
of you, provide a Check Writing and printing program that works
favorably and relatively easy with Jaws and that can be printed
up in a public and business accepted manner, and where No format
questions will be targeted back to a user, such as myself!
The reason I ask, is I just went through a check payment conflict
with a very notable cable company, where their computer system
misread my most recent payment check, and for the last week my
cable service has been turned off, each day at 11:45 AM; and it
has been quite a battle with them, and I even had to get my bank
involved to back my payment of $100; where the cable company's
computer said I only paid $10. This is why I am asking this
question; and I am seeking Technical and quality advice, so that
this situation my be avoided in the future. To let you both
know, I write my checks using a plastic check template, and on
the line for writing the dollar amount in words, I Print those
words in Capital Letters, for easy recognition, and I never have
written any check that has cents on it, as they are always
written in an even dollar amounts. Yet, this careful technique
failed me, in this situation; and that is Why I am asking such a
question, to evade this from happening in the future.
Thank you both, for any and all assistance.
Respectfully

If you wouldn't mind I could go ahead and edit the HTML file to
include
these instructions as they are more complete.
Personally I only use Excel for the donations to this domain so
needless to
say I'm pretty rusty.

Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Detailed instructions for the Sample Check
Book
Register Sample file
All,
If you plan to set this up and try it, I have given more detailed
instructions for the Check Book Register file in Excel below. It
takes a
little bit to understand this setup, but once you get it, you'll
find it
works quite well. If you have trouble, I'm sure someone on this
list would
be happy to Tandem to your computer and help you set it up so you
can try it
out.
Here you go:
Get the file from:
http://www.jaws-users.com/text/Office/Sample-checkbook-register.h
tml
1. Save the file and give it a name you wish to use.
2. Now open the newly named file in Excel and move to Column A,
Row 4, (this
is the intersection of the row and column headings and the next
step is to
inform JAWS of that).
3. Press Insert + V to get into Quick Settings of JAWS for
Excel.
4. Press the letter T, and then down arrow to the item that says
"Define
Name Column and Row Titles Override Off".
5. Press Space Bar a couple of times so the item above is set to
"On for the
Current File".
6. Now down arrow a few times to the item called: "Column Titles
to Row
Range". Press Space and you should hear it reflect 4, since you
were on row
4.
7. Now down arrow once to the item called: "Row Titles to Column
Range".
Press Space and you should hear it reflect A, since you were in
column A.
8. Tab 3 times now to the OK button and press enter to dismiss
the Dialog
and you are done.
In the future, anytime you open a spread sheet with the name you
gave this
one, it will assume that Row 4 has the column headings and Column
A has the
row headings. If you are moving around in the area below and to
the right of
that intersecting point, it should read the headings as you
navigate to make
it easier to understand where you are.
Hope this Helps,
Eric

A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have
evolved from
a simpler system that worked perfectly.

Hi Dooie,
I forwarded it to David and hopefully he can make it generally
available to
the list. I will also ask our Training Department to do a short
Webinar on
this and provide the file and see if Jonathan can do a "JAWS
Bites" segment
on this in an upcoming FS Cast as well.

Hello Eric,
Might you be very Helpful, & provide the list a copy of this
information. As
it could be very useful for a 100% Blind USN Vet.

Hi Kate,
I sent you a message off the list with a sample Check Book
registry all set
up in Excel that I had downloaded from somewhere a couple of
years ago.
There are some instructions in the message on how to get started.
Hope this helps,
Eric Damery
