Cheers Sean, this is more that I think a better way of putting it is column 
headers and with Braille display at work. Your quite correct, the speech 
does say the whole colomn, but for speed its easier for me to use the 
display. The application is not a excel app, its called Service Centre for 
Problem solving incidents. If its not a easy, then I can get sighted help to 
expand the columns out. Luckily, the application does save your settings. I 
was just wondering if I would have been able to do this myself if I come 
across it anywhere else. Thanks again for your advice.


Regards Lee
