There's some help on this in Jaws new features for version 7.0 I know I read some stuff on this before..but seems like the command for reading a row is, control-shift-R and control-shift-C for column. You tab to cell or shift tab to go back and jaws will alert you that if you press tab again whenyour on the last row in the last cell you will add another row if you continue to tab. There is some ways to turn on the verbosity so jaws reads I believe automatically but I haven't ever bothered with it myself as I just press the insert key and 8 and that reads the line as well.. But these keys do not work in Excel even though this is kindof the same structure cells/rows/columns. Jaws works differently but better in my opinion..since you can just left/right arrow to go from cell to cell in Excel.
