Hi all, Thanks for the advice. I was able to widen the column enough to read it.

I'll have to try Tom's method to see if automatic is one of the choices. ------- Original Message -------- From: Bissett, Tom Sent: Wednesday, Jul 6, 2016 3:36:40 PM EST To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and Excel 2013 First highlight the column by pressing control + spacebar. Then using the application key select column width and press enter. Now you can enter a larger number for column width. By default it seems to be 8.43, increase that to about 10.50 and you should be able to read the column. I haven't played with the amount much so you may be able to read the column with not such a large number but you will have to play with that if you wish.

(GSFC-7200) Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2016 3:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and Excel 2013 Hi, I'm reading an Excell 2013 spreadsheet with JAWS version 15, and on some columns JAWS is saying (obscured widened) instead of the cell data. If I copy/paste the cell data into Notepad or whatever, I can read it. But what's the trick to making those cells readable by JAWS? I don't know if a sighted person can see them. Thanks!
