Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding out column width in excel
In both JAWS 7.x and 8.x, Insert+F1 does not provide any information about column width. It appears that in JAWS 7.x, Insert+F includes info on the size of the cell, and in JAWS 8.x the command is Insert+F+F for this same info.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding out column width in excel
Thank you very much for that info. I did not know about the Insert+f+f command, nor have I ever been able to correlate points and inches, so the info you provided will prove to be helpful. After reading your message I tried out the Insert+f+f command and found out that when you execute it on a set of merged cells, it still tells you only the points for the single cell, and not for the entire height and width. Have you found this to be the case?. Any ideas how to work around this?

Excel measures everything in points (printer's points). In JFW 8, pressing insert-f twice quickly will describe the atributes of the active cell to you in a dialogue box. One of the pieces of information provided is the height and width of the cell in points, e.g., "cell dimentions are 54 points wide by 12 points heigh." The number of characters you can fit in 54 points depends on the font you have selected. All cells in a column must be the same width. That's why there is no way to individually adjust the width of a cell. It is a quirk of Excel that you can enter a column width in number of characters instead of points I guess this makes it easier for some people. But, for the purposes of laying out a page, the only way you will be able to know if everything fits widthwise is to add up the active column widths in points. For a typical portrait layout with 3/4-in. margins, you have a total width of 432 points to work with. For a landscape layout with the same margins, you have a total of 684 points to work with.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding out column width in excel
Thank you for your reply. Yes, navigating to this dialog box is what I've been doing, but I was hoping that there was a shorter way of accomplishing this. I need to combine portions of 3 different Excel files, and I am having problems with the varying column widths. I think that I have approximately 45 cells that I need to check their width, and that is if I only check it once per cell/column.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding out column width in excel
Insert F1 did bring up a JAWS window with information about the current file and worksheet, but I could not find any information about column width. Am I over looking it? I've read over quite a bit in the JAWS help and could not find out anything on finding out the width of a column or cell. I find it hard to believe that there is not a JAWS command for obtaining this info. Any other ideas?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding out column width in excel
You're right. I woke up in the middle of the night to realize that I meant to say insert-f1. It will give the column with. Insert-f1-f1 is another function altogether. Thanks for the catch.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding out column width in excel
Are you sure it's not just Insert F1? I think you'll find that Insert F1 pressed twice quickly will open the help topic associated with the application. Hope that helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding out column width in excel
With the cursor in the column you want to know about, press insert-f1-f1. That is, hold down insert---the Jawskey--and press f1 twice quickly. You will hear a ton of information in a virtual window, and the width of the cell will be a part of it. Press escape to escape the virtual window and return to your text.

[JAWS-Users] Finding out column width in excel
I am using Office 2003 and Jaws 7x and 8x. I need to find out the column width and would like to do it in a faster way then going up to the menu bar, opening the column width dialog box and tabbing to that edit box. Is there a JAWS command for announcing this information? I've tried Insert+Tab+Tab and Insert+F and I'm not obtaining the info I need.
