MS/Excel 2007 and Headings that aren't really headingsDate:
Thu, Jun 16, 2011 11:32:00 amcharset="iso-8859-1"
Oftentimes I find Excel spreadsheet applications with improperly coded headingss and some which are exported from other applications which result similarly.
Haven't been able to attend WE App development training or I'd make an attempt to develop something which would treat each column of the first ro of a spreadsheet row and speak it as one navigates through each column such as the WE Office hotkeys should do if there are proper Headings coded.
It would also treat the first column of every row the same and preferably have a toggle to activate this feature if desired as not all rows have headings in every spreadsheet.
The competition allows one to change their Verbosity settings which of course isn't pure but its a decent workaround. Still as always would rather rely upon Window-Eyes for it's responsiveness, stability and all of it's superior qualities.
Yes one can manually correct spreadsheets but this becomes very time-consuming when there's 100 or more columns and the spreadsheet is replaced often!
So if anyone has a little spare time, I know that there would be many who would be grateful for this one!
