Tom:

Well done for achieving your aims!

It depends though on how the form is set up.
A sample would be useful to see.

It is most likely the use of JAWS

Subject: another EXCEL question

Hi, all.

Well, I survived our regional emergency response exercise today, and I'm 
happy to report that using the EOC message form in EXCEL on the County EOC 
laptop worked relatively well.  I have found out that control shift S is 
indeed the best way to switch between different sheets in the Excel file, so

that problem is now solved for me.

I did run into another problem, though, that I could use some help with:

It seems that once I enter part of a message into the message box of the 
EXCEL message form, I can't edit it.  In other words, if I try to go 
backward and forward with my arrow keys to edit what I've done, I get kicked

out of the message box.  Using the back-space key, of course, just deletes 
what I've already typed in.  I know there's an edit bar, but so far, I 
haven't figured out the best way to get to it.

I can send a sample of the message form I'm using if that would help 
diagnose the problem.

To review, I'm using Windows XP and Jaws 8.0 here.

Thanks as always for your help.  I'm relatively new with Excel, but I'm 
learning.
