moderated Question About Excel

R&J
From time to time I have this issue and have tried many things to correct it. Sometimes they work and sometimes they do not work. Please try the following:
1. Go to the "VIEW" menu and zoom in or out. 75% and 100% seem to be the best zoom sizes. 2. Press alt+space bar and try "Restore" if the window is maximized or try "Max" if the window is not maximized. 3. Press insert+Escape or try insert+ctl+Escape to reset the JAWS scripts. 4. If push comes to shove, I kill JAWS and restart it. Most of the time, one of these methods will correct the problem. Ron

In addition to unchecking the "edit in cell" option, another thing I have

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

Lately, I have noticed that when I hit the F2 key to edit a cell, JAWS reads the contents, but I cannot move through the contents of a cell. For example if I want to check the spelling of an entry, I usually hit F2 and arrow back and forth to see the spelling. I do the same thing if I want to check a formula. Am I missing a JAWS or Excel setting?

I have had some of that myself. Try using that control home after you hit the key to edit the cell. It seems to go back to the beginning of the cell and you could then arrow to the right.
