Hi Cristóbal, I do not know how to get this to work, but I am 90% sure that it can be done. At least a few times a year, I get a MS-Word doc from a co-worker where some of the information in random cells is spoken in a language other than English. Given how many times I've had to fix the problem, you would think that I could remember the steps, which could then be reversed for your purpose. So my guess is that you will need to select the column where you want to hear the information spoken in a language other than your default language. From there it might be some type of MS-Word language setting that needs to be changed. I have no idea if MS-Excel will allow this same arrangement.
Hope this gets you pointed in the right direction.

I with Jaws would like to be able to have the synthesizer switch between different voice profiles when navigating between columns either in an Excel spreadsheet or a table in a Word document. In my case, for language learning purposes. Similar to a flashcard system. Jaws has gotten better over the years with multilingual support, but even with the most recent update with the CTL+Win-Key+L command, its still not terribly efficient. More so in a circumstance such as this. There are iOS flashcard apps that do work quite nicely with Voiceover, but I dont always want to work off of my phone. Can one by any chance mark a region in a spreadsheet or table, be it a column or row and associate that area to a voice/language profile in jaws for a more fluid experience. I am studying to obtain federal court certified Spanish language certification and need to work on terminology and vocabulary. I guess the same situation could be applied to any learning circumstance where one wishes to use a flashcard type of format, but anyway Id like to simply be able with the arrow keys go back and forth among the columns and have Jaws provide me with the proper pronunciation instead of English or Spanish for both terms. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
