Amanda,
Ok, I understand what you mean. I have written a small Excel app for my work
which tells me the last column and last row of a sheet with values in it and
which announces the change of a cell background color, when you arrow from
cell to cell. I will incorporate your suggestion in the next 2 weeks. Are
you willing to be a beta tester for the feature you wanna see?
Cheers,
Ralf

As i said for everytime you get a completely new version of certin
spreadsheets, everything will have to be duplicated once again so if this
spreadsheet is changed out hourly and one has to define each of 100 or more
headings each time, this is very unproductive in terms of 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,
Ralf

Subject: MS/Excel 2007 and Headings that aren't really headings
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!
