The Window is maximized. I am beginning to wonder if the cell width has anything to do with it, despite how crazy that sounds. The actual column is not very wide as the results of the formula are no more than 3 digits, and I think there is not a header wider than 6 characters. If this turns out to be the problem, I'm in big trouble with my sighted co-workers. There are 15 columns of this data, and if each one has to accommodate an almost 200 character wide chunk it will be a very wide spreadsheet. Plus, I can't imagine how a formula of that size would be able to fit on the screen as one line of text. As you probably know, putting a check in the "wrap text" checkbox does not impact the cell as the formula level.

My work around today was Use F2 to get into the formula in the cell Select All and copy Paste the cell contents into notepad Make the corrections Copy and paste the corrected formula back into the cell.

Just a thought. I know that workds on reading numbers in a cell without having to use the F2 key.

The problem I'm about to describe did exist when using JAWS16, but if I was persistent, I could eventually get JAWS to read the information I needed. Here is what is going on. . JAWS will only read a portion of my formula from the beginning to some place in the middle. The formula is 179 characters plus 6 spaces. It used to be that if I used various navigational commands inside the cell, I could evidentially read the formula. Now with JAWS17, It is just not happening. . When setting up a custom sort I cannot get JAWS to read the contents of the various drop down lists. It used to be that if I opened the list, arrowed to where I thought the criteria was that I wanted, tab away from the drop down list and then back to it, when I opened it the second time I could hear what I has selected previously. If it was not what I wanted I would repeat my game of roulette until I landed on my desired choice. Now if I manage to get JAWS to read something, it continues to read some random value from the list. Is anyone else having these issues? Does anyone have any ideas for work arounds? I hope to have time Friday to call FS, but in the meantime, it would be really nice to be able to get this task off of my desk at work.
