Barry,
Good to hear from you! Thanks, you have confirmed my own reading of the
navigator. It is very accessible to NVDA but not to JAWS. Each field (row,
col, range etc.) is spoken clearly by NVDA and it successfully jumps to the
desired cell. By playing around with F8 and F5 I am managing to select a
complete range. This is what I want to do but I have no idea how I am doing it!
The operation that I am trying to achieve is:
1. Highlight the initial cel;
2. Set a selection function "on";
3. Jump to the cell that will make the last cell of the desired range;
4. Copy down all cells from the first cell to every cell in the range.
I can see how a mouse user can easily do this.
I am trying to equate the Excel operation which is:
1. Place cursor in the first cell;
2. Press F8 to start selection;
3. Press F5 to go to the intended last cell of the new range (typing single
cell reference);
4. Press control-D to copy down all values from first cell to every cell in the
range.
The F5 and control-D are not available in Calc. F8 does start the selection and
thus is similar to the function of F8 in Excel.
Any ideas?
All the best,
Cearbhall

Cearbhall asks:
> My next question is how to jump to a specific cell?
I m not aware of any really easy way of doing this; but in libreoffice (and I
assume openoffice is likely the same, as libreoffice is a fork from
openoffice), you can press F5 to open a so-called navigator dialogue. While
this has quite complex potential functionality, the simplest facility is to
fill in a row field and a column field and press enter. You may have to
press F5 again to close the navigator dialogue. I m hoping those two fields are
labelled in a way that you can find them; for me, when you open the dialogue,
the cursor is already in the row field, and one tab brings it to the column
field. It s all obviously quite clumsy, but may be worth while for jumping far
in the sheet.
Good luck,
- Barry.
