Hello Rafael, thanks for your hints. So far Tables works fine.
But what I meant was how to edit a cell and change inserted content. That doesn't work here for me. As far as I could find out I have to enter the edit mode of a chosen cell by pressing F2. VO anounces "edit". But then it's not possible to read or delete single characters or to navigate through the content of a cell just by using the arrow keys. Of course I can navigate by using VO + arrow keys but. I should say that I use a sheet like a two dimensional notepad. I don't use it as a calculator and so I don't need formulas in a cell. But to take notes and so I enter a lot of text in it. So it's quite important for me to delete parts of the text and enter new content. So: How do you delete parts of text in a cell and how to enter just one word in a text of a cell? Deleting a whole cell is easily possible.
