Dave, To create a hard return or carriage return within a cell the shortcut keys are alt+enter. Then when you get your series of lines input within the cell you can resize as you suggest with alt then OCW. The alt then OCA only seems to resize to the first word.
Thanks again.

Seems as though there should be a special return to keep within the cell, but if that doesn't work, try other combinations with the Enter key.

I thought that was shift enter but it doesn't seem to work. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Carlson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2014 8:04 PM To: Greg Nickel Subject: Re: sizing cells in excel Greg, The keystroke combination I gave you should be continued non-stop in spite of the feedback from JAWS. This will automatically size the cell/column/row/sheet to the contents. If you want to manually type in a value, then you need to type Alt, then o, then c, then w.

The key strokes don't seem to open an adjustment field. It interrupts me after alt then O to say "continue typing the MS 2003 menue find key sequence or press esc. To continue". Do I need to enable something? -----Original Message----- From: Dave Carlson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2014 7:46 PM To: Greg Nickel; The Jaws for Windows support list. Subject: Re: sizing cells in excel Greg, Alt, Then tap o, c, a. This will resize the selected cell. If you pre-select a column, or a row, or an entire sheet, it will resize anything selected. Note that Alt is tapped first, and then lifted before tapping o, c, a.

I'm assuming wherever this is located you'd be able to also adjust columns and rows? Thanks in advance. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
