Hi all. I'd like to know if there is a way to develop forms in Excel that
are JAWS friendly similar
to the well known method used with MS Word. If there isn't an easy way to
attach text to some
"help text" property of the form field in Excel, then does anyone know of
any approaches through
scripting to do the same thing.
I was thinking of maybe writing a script that interacted with the Excel
Object Model to essentially
mimic the methodology currently in place for MS Word. In other words, have
the form developer
include a string of text in some yet to be defined property and have my
script speak this text when
the focus changes in Excel.
I don't want to re-invent the wheel so please let me know what if anything
already exists to accomplish
the same goal. Excel forms are so common I'd be suprised if this is the
first time someone has gone
down this road......
