Interesting question. I never thought to ask it.
I have found that If I know I want to hear the result in the cell where I
just finished entering information, I press Tab and then Shift-Tab. My
reason for doing this is that when pressing Enter, you do not know where
it
is going to put you. Most of the time it will just drop you to the cell
immediately below the one you were just working in. However, sometimes
it
will put you elsewhere on the row below where you were working. Excel
appears to try and learn your patterns. So if you are entering data in
A1,
B1, C1, and then A2, B2, C2, Excel will assume you want to place the next
set of info starting in A3.
You can also move out of a cell you are putting in data with the Down
Arrow
or Right arrow.
If you are editing a cell's contents with F2, you will have to use the
Tab
or Enter to get out of the cell. Arrow keys do not work because you can
use
them inside the cell while you are editing the cell.
I hope this makes sense and is helpful.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] entering data im excel 2007
Hi,
I am a mew user of office 2007. I have been trying to learn to use Excel
and
Word.
I have a thousand questions, but I have just one question which I cannot
get
am answer.
When I enter a data in an Excel cell and press enter, Jaws speaks the
contents of the cell below when the curser lands on it.
I want the curser to remain im the cell that I just changed. Are there
any
settings that I can change so that Jaws remains in the changed cell?
Any help would greatly be appreciated before I pull all my hair out!
Thanks.
Lennie
