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.

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.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephanie Koetje" <skoe...@nwcenter.org> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2012 5:33 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] keyboard strokes not working in Excel 2007 > Hi all, > When I'm using Excel 2007 (with Jaws 12), after deleting or adding columns > or rows, my keyboard strokes don't register.
