I am using Windows7, JAWS16 and Office2010, at work on a 32bit machine, and at home on a 64bit machine. When I navigate to a cell in Excel that is formatted for a dropdown list, JAWS does announce it most of the time. Sometimes I do have to close everything and reboot the computer, but this is to most often resolve the problem of JAWS not reading a number of things in Excel including cell contents with F2, and the contents of dropdown lists. As best as I can remember, even in the state of not reading cell content, JAWS still told me that the cell I was focused on was a dropdown list.

Win8, JFW6, Office 2010. Is there a JAWS command in Excel that lists all cells in the worksheet containing a drop down list or combo box? JAWS command 'alt down-arrow' opens a drop down list or combo box if it exists in the cell in focus. Then I am able to arrow up and down the dropped list or combo box and hit enter on any of the choices to activate it. But JAWS does not announce the presence of such a drop down list or combo box in a cell as you navigate around from cell to cell using the arrow keys making it impossible to become aware of such a drop down list or combo box. With respect to objects, tis problem does not exist as JAWS has the keystroke combo 'ctrol shift O' that lists all the objects and their respective cell in the worksheet in focus. Is there a similar command for JAWS to list all the cells in a worksheet that contain a drop down list or combo box?
