Working with JAWS

If you are using JAWS® Screen Reading Software:

• You must enable JAWS to read ListView headers, as described in Enabling JAWS to Read ListView Headers .

• In Excel, when a dialog is launched directly from a button on an add-in ribbon (such as the Smart View ribbon or the Planning Ad Hoc ribbon), JAWS reads the location and content of the selected cell before reading the dialog content. An example of this is when launching the Options dialog box from the Smart View ribbon. The selected cell’s location and content is read before the Options dialog content. When a dialog is launched using a drop-down menu on a ribbon button, the dialog content is read directly (and not the selected cell’s location or content). An example of this is the Build Function command in Functions drop-down menu on the Smart View ribbon. After selecting the Build Function command, the content of the Select Function dialog is immediately read.
