Hi, I followed Mike's recommendations to silence JAWS saying Blank. However, in MS EXCEL, 2010, when I move to a blank cell, JAWS still calls out Blank. Is there any way to silence this? Many Thanks, With Kind Regards, Charles Nicol Business Change Analyst – Back Office (Finance) Portfolio

Hi Rick So I take it that the patch update did work for you? I wonder if it has something to do with the avast virus software because somewhere in the process avast gave a warning about mellicious files. If you perhaps use avast, do you know how I deactivate it or should I just uninstall and
