[gui-talk] Strange problem with Excel 2003

[alvin blazik]

WindowEyes uses set files to control program functions. JAWS uses configuration files for the same 
purpose.

The Excel set file defines actions to be taken when certain keystrokes are used. The Up and Down 
arrows were defined with "line" as their first action, while the Left and Right arrow keys were 
defined with "character after". I changed that definition to line and now when I Up, down, left or 
right arrow the contents of the cell are read aloud.

It makes sense that JAWS needs the same kind of definitions, but my knowlege stops at configuration 
files.

How did you resolve it in Window Eyes? The same method may perhaps help me.

Sorry, I am aware of that problem in WindowEyes, due to a Cursor Key
definition problem.

Hello all,

I have been having a strange problem with Excel 2003 since switching to Dell
XPS15 . I am unable to use the arrow keys to move between cells in an Excel
file. The up and down arrow keys work, but not the left and right arrow
keys.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2003 today, but that did not resolve
the problem. The problem may have to do either with an obscure key
configuration or the scroll lock according to posts on online forums.
However, I am unable to locate the scroll lock key on my laptop.

Has anyone here with a laptop encountered a similar problem? If yes, is
there a solution?

Many thanks.
Geetha
