Hi
You can have JAWS run in default mode for a given application and still
use
your personal settings and scripts for other applications by using Manage
Application Settings, which can be found in the JAWS Options menu. Once
you
have opened Manage Application settings, arrow down to the application you
want to run in default and press the space bar until it says unchecked.
Tab
to the OK button and press enter. Don't forget to go back and re-check
the
box for that application when you want your user settings and scripts to
be
active again, like I have sometimes done.
Mike

Dear Don,
Thanks so much for this input. Since my problems with Excel 2007 and Jaws
12 are more of an annoyance than an inability to use the program at all I
will hold off on renaming my personalized settings folder for the time
being. BTW how do you get Jaws to run in default mode?

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.
