Amanda,

Just to be clear what Ralf suggested doesn't have to be done for each of
the possible 100 columns. You could have as many columns as Excel
supports, as long as they are on the same row this is all done once and
only once per worksheet.

time spent performing one's work.
As I say the competition enables a workaround and in this instance

they're getting the edge.

Amanda,

why not just use the column and row header hotkey alt-shift-h? It
is a5 second task to define the cells in the first row as a

header, as well as the cells in the first column as row headers.

Maybe I did not get your point?

Cheers,

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!
