Hello Dacia, I think that the easiest way to have JAWS read both the column and row titles is to use the Excel naming manager.
1. Move focus to the first cell in the row that contains your column headings. 2. Press CTRL with function key 3. 3. Press spacebar on the "New" button. 4. Type the word Title using a capital T and follow the word immediately by a period. There should be no spacing used. 5. Immediately following the period type the cell address that starts the range of cells you want to name. For example, if "Name" is in Column A of row 4 then type A4. 6. Type two periods. 7. Type the cell address where naming will end. For example, you might type Y5000. 8. Press enter key. 9. Tab twice to the Close button and use spacebar. If I wanted to hear the row and column titles from A4 to Y5000 the name would be: Title.A4..y5000 Notice there is no spacing in the name. If you need to share your workbook with another person using Excel the naming would be available for that person. This would not be the case when using the JAWS method. Take care.

For example, if I list peoples names in column a and put the scores they earn in a game and columns BCDEFG and so on,. I wanted to read John Smith 300 points if I go to the third column and the third cell of that Collin. Is there a keystroke to make the headings read like that? Or rather, to make the column and row titles Rita settings? Does this make more sense? I hope so.
