Mike,
How did that spreadsheet read for you after I copied it in excel 2003?
Bare in mind, if you do copy a spreadsheet into a word doc which shows it as
col/tables, your jaws navigation keys are different than for excel.
so if you tab across to the end like you do in excel and it drops you down
to the next row, in column/tables in word this adds another column. Jaws
will give you a warning this will happen if you continue. so just be aware
of that.

Dear Mike,
Another easy way is to just open the excel document, select all with
control a, copy to the clipboard and paste into a blank word document,
to be saved in .doc or .dox format.
That will preserve the tables and formatting and can then be read in
Ms Word.
Regards,
Riana

Hi Don & Trish;
Thank you for your responses. I finally found a Text choice in, save
as, in
the file menu. I did learn some Excel keystrokes, enough to read what I
needed to read. It is much easier to read in Notepad though! LOL I
guess
Doctor Phil will have to wait for another day, probably only 1 or 2.
LOL
Thanks again, take care.

It is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file. If you have Word, you
probably
have Excel as part of Office. It is probably most easily read with
Excel.
However, if it does not contain many columns or extremely wide, perhaps
it
could be converted to a Word table.

real
substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am
working
on things that matter.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Converting an .XLS file
Hi All;
I have received an .XLS file that I'm having a hard time trying to
read.
I'm having a hard time because I don't know didly squot about how to
read
a
.XLS file. I went to the file menu and didn't see an option to
convert it
to a Word document or text file. Does anyone know a way that I can
convert this file? Or, would someone give me some quick steps on
navigating an .XLS file? I really feel a Doctor Phil session coming
on!
LOL All help will be greatly appreciated. Lord only knows, just how
greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take care.
