Boy, sometimes, you think you know a lot, then you find out how much you don't know. I did not realize that you have more verbosity options in Excell than you do in other applications. It is right handy to not have the cell coordinates spoken with every move. Glad you brought that up, Norm. But, the question as to how to save this setting prompted me to investigate. In the course of doing so, I learned a few little items that I found useful as a part time scripter and that, somehow, had escaped my attention. First of all, you can not save this setting. Once you set it, it will remain in effect over subsequent excell sessions as long as you don't restart Jaws. But, the minute you shut jaws down, or reboot your computer, you have to set this up again. There is no place for it in the config file. I think there is an area for some enhancement here to allow an application script to add customized sections to the config file. In chasing this down, I figured that they must have redefined the AdjustJawsVerbosity script. I activated Excell. Then, I made the mistake of going to the keyboard manager and searching for the insert+v keystroke. It was not there. So, the default definition of insert+v was still in effect. The insert_v in the default key map points to a script called AdjustJawsVerbosity. But, the default version of AdjustJawsVerbosity contained no new code to allow the cell verbosity to be manipulated. So, I went to Excell.jss and starting browsing the scripts there. Wow, there is another copy of AdjustJawsVerbosity here too. I should have known this. The local definition of the script in the excell.jss file takes precedence over the default version. So, when you hit insert_v, you don't get the default version as the key map would suggest, you actually get the local excell version. Then, in reading the AdjustJawsVerbosity code, I found the DlgSelectScriptToRun function call. I was excited because this allows you to present a list of options, and to have a specified function run based on the selection. In the past, I had done this with the DlgSelectItemInList function which returns an index in to the list of the item selected. Then, I had to write all this if else logic afterword to decode the returned index and choose what function to call. This baby does it for you. You supply a string which contains the items in the list in the form of FunctionName:ListItemText| with as many items as you want in your list. When the selection is made, the function will call the appropriate FunctionName as specified in your list. This greatly simplifies script coding. How could I have missed this? Don't answer that.
