Hi Anne, Thanks for this. It doesn’t seem to be working for me though in Table 1. I can change the names of subsequent tables but not the first one. I guess I might be able to name second and third tables then delete the first table as a workaround.
For Table 1, this is what’s going on. Once I get to the “A Reference tab”, if I press the “i” key it just selects the “A” column. If I’m understanding things correctly, this is normal behaviour for sighted users. That is, clicking your mouse in the Reference tab for a given column or row will highlight that given column or row. Thanks again for your method.
