Hi, I replied to this once, but it never showed up in my inbox. This may not get through either I guess. The answer is to press F2 then press Control A. That will take you to the formula bar.

At the same time there is an Edit Box running horizontally which shows the same information and a sighted person can click into it with their rodent. For me it is easier to edit there, particularly when there may be a long formula in a cell which F2 will wrap around. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mario Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2016 10:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] EXCEL GOTO EDIT BOX COMMAND ok. I thought you were after the go to edit box since the subject mentioned it and your question was vague. I wonder what that edit field above the spreadsheet that you speak of is?
