Entering a formula in Excel with JAWS 2018

Ann Byrne #59166 In JAWS 18 when I press '=' to begin a formula, JAWS says"Type in the formula and press enter". In JAWS 2018 when I press "=", the '+' appears to be accepted, but JAWS doesn't say anything. at all. Pressing "=" a second time causes an error in the formula. The "=" keystroke is accepted by Excel, but JAWS says nothing. Is there a setting I need to change in order to get the information spoken??? Thanks,

Mario #59167 just a shot in the dark, but did you try after maximizing the windows with alt+spacebar x? toggle quoted messageShow quoted text -------- Original Message -------- From: Ann Byrne [mailto:annakb@...] Sent: Tuesday, May 1, 2018 6:05 PM EST To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Entering a formula in Excel with JAWS 2018 In JAWS 18 when I press '=' to begin a formula, JAWS says"Type in the formula and press enter".

Randy Meyer #59175 For me with Jaws 2018 when I press equals in a cell in excel, it says, "edit, type in text". So, it does not tell me to type in a formula, but it does tell me it is ready for editing. I then type in my formula. toggle quoted messageShow quoted text -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Ann Byrne Sent: Tuesday, May 1, 2018 5:06 PM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Entering a formula in Excel with JAWS 2018 In JAWS 18 when I press '=' to begin a formula, JAWS says"Type in the formula and press enter".

Dave... #59188 Randy, First of all, is your Excel screen maximized? Secondly, there is a setting in Excel to allow editing directly in the cell. I find this in my Excel 2007 version under Excel Options, Advanced, and several tabs along in that page.

Randy Meyer #59189 Dave: Thank you, I am not having any problem entering formulas in Excel. I was responding to an earlier message in this thread. I was just sharing that although I do not get a message to enter a formula, it is clear to me after hitting equl that I can start typing. Thanks for your thoughts.
