Excel problem
|
Chris Chaffin
I am running Excel 2013, Jaws 16 and Jaws 17, and Windows 8.1.
In the past, I could hit f2 to edit the contents of a cell, whether it was a formula or text. But now after hitting f2, Jaws just says blank, even though there is text in the cell. I think this is a setting or something in Excel or Windows, because I have tried using Jaws 16 and Jaws 17 with the same result. Any ideas or help with this problem would be greatly appreciated!!

of the following fixes the problem. 1. Restart Excel 2. Restart JAWS 3. Restart the computer. I think it's a JAWS having issues thing, but I can't say for sure. HTH, Amanda -----Original Message-----

Mcginnis, Barbara
When I press F-2, JAWS says Edit. Next, when I press Say line with JAWS Key and the up arrow or Insert plus 8 and it reads the formula that is in the cell.

Like I said, I do not think this is a Jaws problem, unless it goes across versions. I have tried restarting Jaws, even changing versions, restarting excel, and even restarting my computer on occasions.

This is not something that just happens every now and then. It happens every time I start Excel, no matter which spreadsheet I open. I have also checked to make sure that the window is maximized. Again, this is on a Windows 8.1 machine, Excel 2013, and I have tried both Jaws 16 and 17 with the same results. I was just hoping that there might be something that I missed or changed on accident that someone could bring to my attention.

I do not have this problem as you describe But when I hit F2 I hear edit. However, when I use the arrow key to read the formulas I don't hear the individual letters and symbols spoken. I have found that using the up and down arrows I can hear the entire contents spoken by JAWS. Also can edit the formula. I am using JAWS 17 in Windows 10 while working in Excel 13. -----Original Message-----
