Sometimes, you need to refresh the screen also. In complex spreadsheets, particularly if you are editing a lot, the screen gets cluttered and you need to hit Ins plus Esc which redraws the screen and often clears up these kinds of problems.

Either f5 or control-g gives you the go to dialog box. Then enter what you want to select. For example if you want to select rows 1 through ten, you would type f5, then 1:10. You can select contiguous cells, joining them with colon as above, or non-contiguous cells, joining them with comma. I would have thought that unloading and reloading JAWS would straighten things out when you're trying to read, though. Excel is hard for JAWS, being so densely formatted, but usually unload/reload unscrambles it. Good luck!
