Thanks. I managed to label the rows and coluns for reading and am reading ever so slowly. Anyone know if it's possible to braille these crazy tables with Duxbury? Sharon

An example would be peoples names at the top of the columns and tasks going down the first column. You will have to tell JAWS to read these titles as you move from cell to cell. Turn this JAWS feature on by the below info taken from the JAWS help. Excel Row and Column Title Reading Defining Row and Column Titles Before JAWS can read the titles of cells within a spreadsheet, you must specify which columns and/or rows contain those titles. To define row titles, move to the column containing the row titles and press ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+R. To define column titles, move to the row containing the column titles and press ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+C. Tip: You can also press INSERT+V to use the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog box to define row and column titles. To move around in the spreadsheet, you can use your 4 arrow keys. Use the right and levt arrows to move across a row. When you get to the last column of data in a row, press the home key to move back to the first cell in that row, and then down arrow to move to the next row. Now you are ready to move across the row to read it. If you want to quickly get to the beginning of the spreadsheet, use Control+home. What I've provided you is very crude, but it should get you through the document tonight. I found some other JAWS commands, but I've never used them, so all I can do is list them here for you and you are on your own. JAWS provides keystrokes to read only the portion of the spreadsheet that is visible on the screen. If Title reading is enabled, pressing these keystrokes reads the appropriate title cells followed by the visible cells' contents. Description Keystroke Read visible row INSERT+UP ARROW Read visible row to current cell INSERT+HOME Read visible row from current cell INSERT+PAGE UP Read visible column INSERT+CTRL+UP ARROW Read visible column to current cell INSERT+CTRL+HOME Read visible column from current cell INSERT+CTRL+PAGE UP Good Luck.

I do not know how to use Excel at all. I need to know which actions in the document I am responsible for, and I need to read the whole document and take notes on the important points. Is there a way to read the document across? From beginning to end? Down, from beginning to end? What if I stop in the middle? I don't have to create these documents. Tonight I just have to read them and do the things I need to do! Any help would be much appreciated. Say all is not an option so I'm unsure what to do, and I don't have time to read a textbook. I just need to get by for now.

I love it and use it all of the time to record quick notes, lists of to do's, items to buy at the store, items to pack, etc. The DS 40 was purchased for me at work. I use it in a similar way that I use my personal one, but I also use it to record brief items when a co-worker reads them to me. I don't think that I could live with out either device. It is my hope to soon learn how to interface my DS 40 to my computer and make use of the index feature while recording a meeting. Of course this would entail getting the other meeting participants to agree to letting me record the meeting. But I'm not about to stir that pot until I learn to use the indexing feature.

I have had it for a couple of years. I told my wife the other day that if anything ever happened to it, I would have to replace it immediately. I use it for recording little messages and notes throughout the day. I have even taken it to church and recorded the preaching on it and then downloaded it to my computer. It is surprising how good the quality of the sound is. Olympus really puts out a good product. I can't wait to get one of the newer models. It sounds like they are really neat.

I gave up scanning it. I had my husband set the time and read the directions on how to record, play, and erase recordings. I keep telling myself that I'm going to see if I can find an electric version of the manual on line, but just haven't gotten around to it. This is why I haven't learned to interface it with the computer, or use the indexing feature.
