1 Is it possible to send EXCEL sheets (rather than the whole workbook via Outlook Express. I've read this is possible in Outlook but wonder if anyone has found a way to do it in Outlook Express? Answer Don't specifically know, but you could save the sheet (rather than the whole book) and then send it as an attachment.
That's the problem. I'm not sure just how to save the sheet on its own.
No, she doesn't use Jaws but her column headings were definitely showing in that sheet for items by which I could sort. Maybe mine weren't because I was using different fonts. I'll have to do some experimenting there and change the fonts on my sheets. What do you think?2 In a friend's workbook, which I now use regularly, I've noticed that, when sorting on a column, that column is automatically spoken by Jaws for me to choose. However, I think this must be something she's built in as I haven't achieved this on my own work sheets. Anyone know how to do it, please? (She doesn't seem to have a clue what I mean when I ask her, but it does work on her sheets and not mine! <Smiles>) answer: if she is also using JAWS, there is a facility include colun and row hidings within the sheet. Otherwise it could be a function of your verbosity settings.
It won't be verbosity settings because she's not using jaws. What do you lock the cell for and how do I check if hers is locked?3 With my friend's spread sheet, I also notice something different and can't quite fathom it: On my own sheets, CTRL+HOME (using Jaws) causes me to be positioned at my first cell, IE, A1. On her sheet, I then have to press left arrow once in order to land at the same point, IE, her A1. Has she just shifted cells left (perhaps to show more on screen)? Even if this is so, I can't reproduce it myself though, of course, can copy it using her sheet. If anyone knows what I'm waffling on about and how to achieve it then I'd be most grateful to know. Answer: It may be verbosity settings. Also, she may have locked the cell.
4 - and finally I love EXCEL and now have several sheets I use. I learn something with each new sheet but realise there's lots more I can still learn. Does anyone have any suggestions about good, straightforward tutorials for visually impaired people (preferably using JAWS) that I'd find useful? Answer: Albeit a little old, the John Wilson one is instructive.
Ah, thanks. I'd forgotten about that one. I'll locate it. If you can help further, that would be appreciated. -- Carol
