Hi Neville,
The web page author is the only one that can control the row and column headers that are displayed on the page. If the author created the table correctly, you can enable Window-Eyes to announce the headers. Here is an excerpt from the Window-Eyes manual that covers this topic: Window-Eyes has several options for indicating names of both columns and rows. Control-Shift-H - This hot key will allow you to cycle through the following seven options for row and column announcement: * No title - No cell header information will be announced when moving between cells. * Attribute Only - If a web page author has designated certain cells to act as column and row headers, Window-Eyes will speak their contents as you move between cells. * Column Title - This will cause Window-Eyes to read the contents of the first cell in the current column whenever you move from one column to another. If you move through the same column, Window-Eyes will not read the first cell. * Row Title - This will cause Window-Eyes to read the contents of the first cell in the current row whenever you move from one row to another. If you move through the same row, Window-Eyes will not read the first cell. * Column or Row - This will cause Window-Eyes to read only the new column or row header. If you move to a new row, then the row header will be spoken. If you move to a new column, then the column header will be read. * Column and Row - This will cause Window-Eyes to always read both the column and row headers. If you change rows, then the row header will be spoken first. If you change columns, then the column header will be read first. * R X, C Y - This will cause Window-Eyes to speak the coordinates of table cells as you move to them. For example, "R 1, C 1" would be the first row and column of the table. By default, Window-Eyes is set to read no header cells as you move through tables. This option can be changed in the Browse Mode verbosity section of the Window-Eyes control panel. Thanks, Marc Solomon GW Micro, Inc.

That is, similar to the way that headers can be set up in Excel. There is a table on a financial web site I use frequently and it would be great to put some labels on it. Thanks Neville.
