Within the last couple of JAWS 12 updates, Freedom Scientific has
revamped the Excel scripts. They completely changed how they store
settings. If you had any personalizations to spreadsheets, such as
reading headings, these settings files will make the entire Excel
interface not work properly! They did a lousy job of informing the user
or migrating safely to the new settings. However, removing the old
settings and setting them up again is exasperating, but it is worth it!
The new Excel scripts are vastly improved! My poor responsiveness
problems completely disappeared! There are some new capabilities of
these features as well.
Either go to your User Settings folder (Start menu > All Applications >
JAWS 12 > Explore JAWS > Explore My Settings) and rename the
"PersonalizedSettings" folder or run JAWS in default mode. This will
remove all of the user customizations for Excel. Open the spreadsheet
you were having trouble with before. Hopefully, this will make the
Excel interface accessible again.
If you had other customizations, like for web pages, simply copy them
from the renamed folder to the new "PersonalizedSettings" folder.

Hello,
I was wondering if it was just me. I cant even get JAWS to read any
cells whatsoever in Excel 2007. The only way Ican read anything when
I open up a spreadsheet is to use the JAWS cursor.
