Great find! Again, it is amazing what we can find in the help files when we
use it.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: Charts in Excel
I found this in the help of Jaws 7.10.
Reading Excel Charts
Once a chart in Excel gains focus, JAWS reads it using the Virtual Cursor.
You may navigate the same as you would on a web page in Internet Explorer.
Once
you finish using the Virtual Cursor, press ESC to return to the worksheet.
If you try to use the Select Worksheet Objects function when a chart is
already active, a bug in Excel prevents another object from being selected.
You
must first press ESC to deactivate the chart before trying to select another
chart.
JAWS now recognizes and speaks the types and titles of all 14 chart types
and 73 subtypes, though detailed descriptions are only available for line,
bar,
column, cylinder, pyramid, cone, pie, doughnut and xy-scatter charts and for
their subtypes.
Note: Trend lines are not yet described.
Chart descriptions are spoken when a chart has focus and you press
INSERT+F1.
An Example Of a Chart Description:
list of 4 items
. Chart type.
. Chart title.
. Axes titles.
. Number of series.
list end
Each series is described, beginning with its legend, followed by the number
of points in the series.
The point number, data label (if it has one), category name, and value
describe each point.
When charts are described for which percentage contributions are not spoken,
and if there are several contiguous categories with the same value, rather
than announcing each identical point or bar, JAWS collects the items and
speaks the range.
