Tom and Lloyd, I have had Excel sometimes go dead and found that bringing up the ribbon and then dismissing it with ESCAPE sometimes causes cells to read again. If Window-Eyes is not reading a document from the outset, then check to see if it happens to be in a Dropbox folder. If it is, go to Dropbox preferences and change the "Show Badges" option to Never. For some reason, that option interferes with certain screen readers regarding Excel and Microsoft Word.

I happened to open a spreadsheet whose cells were protected. Pressing F2 told me that I could not edit unless I enabled editing. When I did this, I could no longer even read the spreadsheet, as well s not edit a cell. So I closed Excel and then reloaded the same file, now unprotected. Reading and editing then worked as they should, in my brief test.

When I press F2 to edit a cell, nothing reads any more. This occurs whether the window i8s maximized or not. I tried refreshing the accessibility library of Window-Eyes which worked for one time. But the vehavior quickly returned. Any help would be appreciated. _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
