It's interesting that you bring this up because other coworkers of mine who use excel 2013 and jaws 15 on a windows 7 machine aren't having this issue at all. I've never encountered it until I moved to windows 8. I have been copying out the data into notepad, editing it and inserting it back into the cell. That's my only work around for the time being as well. Johna

I have found no work around that is consistently reliable. Sometimes unloading and reloading JAWS will help temporarily. One solution is to copy the formula into notepad, edit it there, and copy it back to the cell. I have reported to FS. They say that it is a known issue but no word as to when it might be fixed. I would say that they are in no hurry as I have encountered this problem at least back to JAWS 8 or 9.

I haven't seen that kind of behavior since JAWS 12, but I've been a wee bit paranoid ever since. I've checked Excel and Access on my home Windows 7 Pro system, and both seem to work okay. Come to think of it, I think Access was the problem child on 11 and 12; I was using XP at the time at both home and work.

I have maximized the window and hit the f2 key to read and edit data and jaws does not read anything in the cell once I've clicked f2. How can I get jaws to read what's in the cell? All jaws says to me is blank no matter what I do. I move with the arrow keys I try the read all commands and nothing works.
