that definitely sounds like a situation for Office, or even a system repair
of some kind. If you have your office disk, I'd suggest doing a repair, or,
if necessary, removing and reinstalling office - something is wrong there.

Hi Phil,
As mentioned before, no keystrokes are working. So I can't do any of your
suggestions. I can hit Alt F4 and Jaws will even echo "Alt F4" but it won't
close.

I don't understand why you would need your mouse to close Excel. Have you
thought of using the Alt+F4 keystroke? Also, its fairly simple to find the
close button on the title bar, just turn on jaws cursor, press page up, and
then the End key. The mouse will be positioned on the close button. press
numpad 5 to verify that, and then you can do a mouse click by pressing
numpad /
As to adding and deleting rows and columns causing problems, that just
sounds strange, and it never happens to me. Perhaps an office repair is in
order.

Hi all,
When I'm using Excel 2007 (with Jaws 12), after deleting or adding columns
or rows, my keyboard strokes don't register. For example, if I go to type
in data in a cell, nothing happens. Jaws speaks my keystrokes, but they
are not being entered into the cell. The only fix is to close Excel, which
I'm forced to do by using my mouse, which is a nightmare because I can't
always find the close box to click on. I can't even hit Alt space to
manually close it without my mouse. Because I don't want to always depend
on a sighted person to close Excel for me, I usually just restart my
computer. Has this happened to anyone? Is it a Jaws thing?
Thanks for your help,
Stephanie
