done is uncheck the option for "auto completion." The combination of these two things has resulted in a resolution for me.

I normally use excel for a glossary of terms. As I am a university student, numerous terms that I have to deal with are new to me. Therefore, I have an excel work sheet divided into four columns. In the first Colum, I have a word that requires a definition, in the second Columb I have the type of word i.e. verb, noun, adjective, or adverb; then, in the third Columb I have the definition, and finally, in the 4th Columb I have an example of the word applied in a sentence. I have often observed that when I am using f2 for a cell within the first column, I can comfortably use my left and right arrows to check the spelling of a particular word. However, if I go to my third or fourth Columb, which constitutes of multiple words, I am unable to use jaws to navigate within the cell. This is really strange, and I have not found a solution to this problem. I have also tried the suggestion mentioned below with regards to unchecking the 'allow editing directly in cells' box, but it seems to be unsuccessful on my end. If someone has a solution of this, I, likewise, will be very grateful. Below are the specs of my computer: Lenovo ThinkPad laptop with windows 10 running on it. Jaws version 18.
