Hi Gerry, Thank you so very much for the solution to my problem. That took care of it perfectly. Now, I can stop pulling my hair out! And give your wife a big hug for helping me and other blind folks with the same problem.

It is a behavour of Excell itself. The good news is that you can, to a degree, change Excel's behavour. I am including here information that my wife was so kind as to find for me. Here it is. Change the direction for the ENTER key When you press TAB to enter data in several cells in a row and then press ENTER at the end of that row, by default, the selection moves to the beginning of the next row. Pressing ENTER moves the selection down one cell, and pressing TAB moves the selection one cell to the right. You cannot change the direction of the move for the TAB key, but you can specify a different direction for the ENTER key. Changing this setting affects the whole worksheet, any other open worksheets, any other open workbooks, and all new workbooks. Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Excel Options. In the Advanced category, under Edit, select the After pressing Enter, move selection check box, and then click the direction that you want in the Direction box. I hope you will find this information at least partially helpful. By the way, I fall into the "Enter" trap myself quite frequently.

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.
