Hi Ed; I have been watching this thread. You have been given a host of ideas. Over the last year I have tried all of them to no avail. If you have had success, God bless you. Just delete this message.
If you are still trying to solve the problem, here is what Eric D. from FS posted and it works for me. >From Eric D. 1. Save the file and give it a name you wish to use. 2. Now open the newly named file in Excel and move to Column A, Row 4, (this is the intersection of the row and column headings and the next step is to inform JAWS of that). 3. Press Insert + V to get into Quick Settings of JAWS for Excel. 4. Press the letter T, and then down arrow to the item that says "Define Name Column and Row Titles Override Off". 5. Press Space Bar a couple of times so the item above is set to "On for the Current File". 6. Now down arrow a few times to the item called: "Column Titles to Row Range". Press Space and you should hear it reflect 4, since you were on row 4. 7. Now down arrow once to the item called: "Row Titles to Column Range". Press Space and you should hear it reflect A, since you were in column A. 8. Tab 3 times now to the OK button and press enter to dismiss the Dialog and you are done.

Hi Jaws listers, I have Win 7 using Office 2010. When I am using Excel and I am down the column how can I get Jaws to announce the name of the column I am in. for example say I have the name of the column called Date and I am down the column how do I get Jaws to announce that I am in the Date column. Otherwise I have to arrow all the way to the top of the page to find out what the name of the column is then arrow back down to the row I won't to enter the date. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
