Hello again Moe
I have just tried doing this in Jaws and it was successful. I much
prefer working with WE but needs must.
Many thanks to everyone for your help and if I find a solution, I'll let
you know.
Best wishes
Mike.

When you press F2, does your PC says something like "this file is protected mode "?
Then you should hear something like " to unprotect press F6". After pressing F6 you
should get a drop menu and arrow donw to get to unprotect.
These are the steps I take when I get a file that is protected. This work
for word, excel and any MS office files.
Good luck
Moe

Subject: Re: Reading cells and fields in xl
Hello
When I press f6 the only option I get is to allow editing, which doesn't work,
or close.
I've tried it several times but as soon as I press f2 I get the warning
about protected mode again.
Perhaps I am going about this in the wrong way. All I want to do is to
be able to cursor across names and scores. Unfortunately because names
are ocasionally spelt wrongly, searching for a name doesn't always
work. Consequently, I have to tab and cursor until I can find the name
I want. That is when I need to be able to read the name letter by
letter because I need to find it several more times. The spread sheet
is the results from an acoustic shooting competition which has anything
from 60 to 100 competitors and each name will appear multiple times.
I hope that makes sense because it felt like a rant.
Best wishes
Mike.

Yes , all you have to do is as follow.
Presss F6 and erro down to take it out of protection mode, once you do that use
F2 to edit cell as normly do.
I am sorry I was responding with my I phone and the space got in there by
mistake.
Good luck
Moe

Hello Rod
Thanks but I have tried it without the space and still no luck.
I have been working down through the file menu to options and then trusted, as
recommended by John. However, Window-eyes won't allow me to check or uncheck
the boxes which seem to have something to do with my problem.
I may have to wait for sighted assistance.
Best wishes
Mike.

Hi Mike,
I don't work with Excel much, but I venture a guess that the space you read in
the response was related to the fact that the person was dictating his response
on his iPhone.
Therefore, what I'm saying is the space should be ignored. Smile
Hth,
Rod

Hello
Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to work on my machine. After pressing f6
followed by space f2 I get the same message about protected mode. Many thanks
though for taking the time to reply.
Best wishes
Mike.

Hello Everyone
I occasionally receive xl spread sheets that I need to be able to read
character and numbers individually.The files are protected and so I can't use
f2. Is there any way, using Window-eyes that I can cursor across names and
numbers?
With thanks in advance
Mike.
