Tables table with 2 columns and 13 rows Description Command Read table column WINDOWS Key+PERIOD Read next column WINDOWS Key+ALT+RIGHT ARROW Read prior column WINDOWS Key+ALT+LEFT ARROW Say column title ALT+INSERT+SHIFT+C Say first cell in column ALT+1 In Word 2003 or earlier, this command reads the content of the first cell in the current column, which is often the column header. Note that this functionality conflicts with Word 2007, since the ALT+1 keystroke is associated with the Quick Access Toolbar in Office 2007 applications. If you want to use the ALT+1 keystroke so that it announces the first cell's contents instead, use the Keyboard Manager to reassign the keystroke. Read table row WINDOWS Key+COMMA or WINDOWS Key+NUM PAD 5 Read next row WINDOWS Key+ALT+DOWN ARROW Read prior row WINDOWS Key+ALT+UP ARROW Say row title ALT+INSERT+SHIFT+R Say first cell in row ALT+7 In Word 2003 or earlier, this command reads the content of the first cell in the current row, which is often the name of the row. Note that this functionality conflicts with Word 2007, since the ALT+7 keystroke is associated with the Quick Access Toolbar in Office 2007 applications. If you want to use the ALT+7 keystroke so that it instead announces the contents of the first cell in the row, use the Keyboard Manager to reassign the keystroke. Select first cell in a table INSERT+CTRL+T Toggle revision detection on or off INSERT+ALT+R. table end HTML Tables Tables are made up of columns and rows with information placed inside table cells. Tables may be used in one of two ways. Data tables display relationships between types of information. Layout tables position information on the page or define the general layout of a page, such as in newspaper columns. By default, JAWS detects data tables and indicates that a table contains x number of columns and y number of rows when you enter one. JAWS also gives you verbal indication when you reach the end of a table. These settings can be changed in the HTML Options dialog on the Lists and Tables page. Reading and Moving within Tables JAWS provides commands which allow you to move around within tables and from one table to another as well as get information about the position of table cells and the structure of tables on a page. When you move to a table, JAWS announces the number of columns and rows, and reads the summary, if a summary is available. When you navigate tables using standard reading commands, JAWS reads the cells in order from left to right and behaves as if each table cell begins on a new line. JAWS does not identify table headers or provide information about table structure as you navigate the table in this manner. To move to the next table, press T. To move to the previous table, press SHIFT+T. The Virtual Cursor moves to the contents of the first cell in the table, and JAWS reads the table summary, if present, and the contents of the table cell. Tip: To display a list of all tables on the current page, press CTRL+INSERT+T. Use the arrow keys to select a table from the list and press ENTER to move to it. To jump directly to a cell within the current table, press CTRL+WINDOWS Key+J (or WINDOWS Key+J if you are using Mozilla Firefox). Enter the column and row number of the cell you want to move to and press ENTER. To return to your previous location in the table, press SHIFT+CTRL+J (or SHIFT+WINDOWS Key+J if you are using Firefox). To hear information about the current table cell, press ALT+CTRL+NUM PAD 5. JAWS announces the row and column position, reads the current row and column headers, and reads the contents of the cell. To read from the beginning of the row to the current cell, press INSERT+SHIFT+HOME. To read from the current cell to the end of the row, press INSERT+SHIFT+PAGE UP. Similarly, you can press INSERT+SHIFT+END to read from the top of the column to the current cell, or press INSERT+SHIFT+PAGE DOWN to read from the current cell to the bottom of the column. To read the current column, press INSERT+SHIFT+NUM PAD 5. When you move to the next or prior cell in the same row using table navigation commands such as ALT+CTRL+RIGHT ARROW, JAWS reads the column header and the data in the cell and announces the column number. When you move to the next or prior cell in a column with ALT+CTRL+UP ARROW or ALT+CTRL+DOWN ARROW, JAWS reads the row header and the data in the cell and announces the row number. If the number of columns changes when you move to a new row using these commands, or when using WINDOWS Key+ALT+UP ARROW or WINDOWS Key+ALT+DOWN ARROW to read the prior or next row, JAWS states the number of columns in the new row. To move to the first cell in the table, press ALT+CTRL+HOME. To move to the last cell, press ALT+CTRL+END. JAWS reads the contents of the cell, announces the row and column number, and then reads the row and column headers. To select an entire table, use F8. For more information, see HTML Elements.
