The quick way is to select the cells you want to change and hit Control + 1 to bring up the Format menu. If necessary, arrow left or right to the Numbers page. Now you should recognize all of the options.
In Excel 2007 or Excel 2010, I highly recommend using the JAWS virtual menus. It allows you to navigate through the new ribbons like menus. This makes it much easier to find all available options. Going into the JAWS Settings Manager with Insert + 6, changing to the default settings with Control + Shift + d, and search for ribbon. Arrow down to "Use Virtual Ribbons" and hit Space until it says "checked". Now Tab to the "OK" button and hit Enter. *Don Marang* Vinux Package Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org <http://www.vinuxproject.org/> On 3/19/2012 11:02 AM, Patti wrote: > Hey Gang, > I'm running windows7, and office 2010. > What I need to know is how to get to make jaws say the dollar sign in excel > 2010. > In office 2003 all I had to do is > 1, Alt O > 2, Enter on cell > 3, Tab to the list and arrow down to currency > 4, Tab once into the list > 5, Arrow down to make sure that the dollar sign is there. > Now it is so diffent in 2010. > So can someone help me on finding it in 2010? > Thanks for all the help I can get. > Patti > > Peoria Blind Center > www.peoriablindcenter.org > Here is the name of the group on facebook: PeoriArea Blind People's Center. > Your friends on facebook are going to have to get on > their facebook account and search for the group's name to join, or to see > what we are about. > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: > http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
