Not actually. It is fitting, however! I must not have been paying enough
attention to the spell check suggestion. I do remember it flagging his
name. I probably assumed it's suggestion was correct. Sometimes, I think I
should enable repeat keys, since my one hand typing is so bad. I often get
repeated keys. At least this time the mistake was appropriate!

Hello Don,
If you use the word "Title" for sheet one then you will need to use
"Title2" for sheet 2, Title3 for sheet 3 etc. The same is true for using
RowTitle and ColumnTitle. Excel doesn't let you use Title1 for sheet 2,
instead the number at the end of Title, RowTitle or ColumnTitle needs to
correspond with the sheet it is being used in. Remember also that there
can be no spaces in or after the words Title RowTitle or ColumnTitle, and
of course no quotation marks as I have shown above.
If you name a range of cells, the name applies to the sheet in which it
is created. If you call b1 through e1 "months" in sheet 1, you can call
b1 through e1 of sheet 2 "months 1." So if you were in sheet 3 and used
the GoTo command to go to the range named "months" you would go to sheet
1 at cell B1, which is the beginning cell of the named range. If you
were in sheet 3 and used GoTo to move to "Months1" then you would be
taken to sheet 2 at the beginning of the named range. If you wanted to
change the range that applies to "months", you can choose it from the
list after doing CTRL+F3 and then use the edit button. Use tab to where
you can edit the absolute reference and press F2. You can designate the
range to a different sheet or a different absolute referenced range in
that edit box.
You are quite right, CTRL+F3 works in both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007.
Take care.

Hi Brian,
After I rebooted and started JAWS 11 beta again, all of the spreadsheets
where I embedded the "Title" name to a cell now read the column and row
titles. The manual settings still does not work. It will do what I
want and I should not need to manually set these again.
I have one more question. I have one spreadsheet with 5 sheets (pages).
How would I set a "Title" name separately for each sheet? I set up the
first page as you suggested. It is not reading the Titles on that sheet
and will not allow me to use the same name on the other sheets. Some of
the sheets need different rows and columns to be spoken. I did notice
that the Manage Names dialog can be brought up with Control + F3.

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?
Don Marang
