Re: Excel and jaws;

Does Excel change the format to Date but Jaws will not read the date Format or Excel will not allow you to format a cell to be date format?

Good afternoon all; perhaps someone can help me. this is from one of my clients.
I wonder if you had a suggestion about a problem I am having with excel. I have gone through all of the help info with no luck at all. I don’t know if you can help but here it is. Excel does not recognize date formats as numbers only as text. When I enter a dates in a date column I need it to be recognized as a date in order to sort them to put them in order. I have no luck in using the date value or value function getting an error that my formula is wrong. I have gone on the internet and have had no luck with support.microsoft.com and it isn’t a disability issue for Microsoft accessibility help. Is there something I am missing? Do you have any suggestions ?

Re: New computer specs

In 2012 i bought a high end Dell desktop PC for
over a thousand dollars and it lasted 5 years. in 2017 I read about refurb
PCs on walmart.com and found an HP desktop with 8 GB RAM and an AMD 3.7 GH
processor amd a 2 TB HD for $184. At that price I bought 2, one for
me and one for my wife. After almost 2.5 years, both
machines are running like Timex watches. What I learned is that you should
consider your use case. Most folks buy far more PC than they need,
and could save a lot of money that they could use for software, etc.
The other thing I liked about these units was a clean copy of Windows with no
bloatware.

Re: Excel and jaws;
Van Lant, Robin
Even more specifically, once you open the cell formatting dialog, tab once to Category and arrow down to “Date”. Excel defaults the cell format to General, which is at the top of the list. Once “Date” is selected, tab once and you’ll have a list of the way you want the date to show up. You can select choices where it just shows month, or month and day or month, day, year. Arrow down and hit enter on the one you want.

closer and there are two links One is to play it through the browser. The next link allows me to download it to my laptop. I then opened the zip file, selected the mp3 file and it starts playing through windows media player.

Can you get to that field, and type in it? Maybe, if you just get to that field, and type in it the state will populate automatically. Hope this helps.

Re: Excel and jaws;
Chris Chaffin
I am not sure what you are exactly trying to do. You said that Excel is not recognizing dates as text only. Excel recognizes the contents of a cell depending on how you have the cell formatted. How do you have the cells you are entering dates in formatted? To change the format of a cell hit control and the number 1 on the numbers row. This will bring up the format dialog box. I would recommend changing the format of the cells to date to see if this helps you accomplish what you are trying to do. Chris

Two thoughts, and there could be many others. First, put the JAWS focus somewhere else, maybe you are focused on the time display.
