Van Lant, Robin
 

I’m still on JAWS 2019 and using Excel 2016 as part of Office 365 and have seen this annoying behavior for a while now, but I don’t pay enough attention to know how consistent it is. I noticed it the other day in a file I was trying to format, but I just tried it in a simple spreadsheet a moment ago and it’s reading fine at the moment.  I’ll try to pay more attention to when I see the issue and see if I can find a pattern.  I definitely know I’ve had it do the opposite of what JAWS is saying is being done.

Hallo All
Currently using the latest version of Jaws 2020 with excel 2013 and have come across and issue when setting font styles Bold, Italic and Underline. i am using the shortcut keys CTRL + B, CTRL+I and CTRL+U however Jaws always announces Bold off, Italic off or Underline off irrespective of thether these are being set to on or off.. Oddly though i don't have this issue using the same (2013) version of word.
Has anyone else had a similar issu? any thoughts?
Cheers Mike
