Thanks Brian,
This is very helpful and will save time every time I make a copy of these
files or install a new version of JAWS. It works great with JAWS 10. It
still does not work all of the time on my installation of JAWS 11! I seem
to be able to have it read the titles if I do the following:
1. Name the range "Title" for the intersecting cell as you outlined.
2. Go back to the intersecting cell, and press Insert + V.
3. Set the override titles for just this file.
4. set the title reading detection to read both titles.
5. Set the column and row and press Enter.
Just setting this Named range in the file itself does not seem to work.
Likewise, setting it manually, the settings are not saved. I attempted to
duplicate this strange override quirk on several other files without
success! This one has me baffled. Does setting this named range and / or
setting it through the verbosity dialog work in JAWS 11 for you?

Hello Donald,
In Excel 2007 move to the intersection of column and row titles. Press
the application key and down arrow to the "name a range" choice and press
enter. In order to only hear column titles as you arrow across a row type
in "ColumnTitle" (without the quotes and no spaces between the words. Use
mixed case). In order to hear only row titles as you use the down arrow
key type in RowTitle using mixed case and no spacing. If you want to hear
both row and column titles type in the word Title.
I am not at a system with Excel 2003 or earlier but the choice should
likely be under the insert menu and should have to do with naming or
defining a range.
Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 11 beta not reading Titles in Excel!
Hi list,
I started playing with the new JAWS 11 beta last night. Since it is the
beginning of the month, I attempted to update a few spreadsheets. Of
course, I needed to set my Title column and row settings since this is a
new installation of JAWS. Unfortunately, the settings would not be saved
and the titles are never read! After setting to read both column and row
titles and set their cell in the verbosity dialog, JAWS announces
"spreadsheet settings saved". However, the settings have not been saved
and the titles are not read.
Has anyone else noticed this problem? I am following the same procedure
I have used for years, back to JAWS 4.7 I think. Are there extra steps
in JAWS 11?
I know there is a way to embed the title information directly into the
spreadsheet file. This would be handy. Does anyone know how this is
done?
