[gui-talk] [nfbcs] Table Column Not Displaying or Printing

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Louis,

    I'll give that a try. Unfortunately my partner doesn't know how to use 
Excel. Perhaps I could copy the table to Excel and format it then reimport 
it back in to Word in the hopes that the problem will be fixed. All Ed would 
need to do is open up the spreadsheet in Excel and print off a copy. He and 
his wife will be here in a while so I'll discuss the issue with him. Thanks 
for the suggestion.

Hello Peter,

It might be easier to handle this table as an Microsoft XL spreadsheet.  You
could select the table, copy it, and paste it directly into an XL
spreadsheet, and the table structure would be maintained.

You can use control + space bar to select a column, then the applications
key, then arrow down to column width.  You can widen each column to do what
you want.

You will have much more control of table-type data in XL than in word.

Subject: [nfbcs] TTable Column Not Displaying or Printing

Good morning again everyone,

    Yesterday I posted a question concerning an issue we're having with a
table of contacts. One of the columns includes a list of telephone numbers.
JAWS indicates that this column is present when the table is read but the
column does not appear on the screen or when the document is printed. We
used Microsoft Word 2010 to create the document and its accompanying table.
The table consists of 7 columns and over 100 rows of entries. All columns
display visually except column 7. We need to know how to adjust the table so
all columns detected by JAWS display visually and appear when the document
is printed. We're using JAWS 14 under Windows 7 Home Premium if that helps.

    There obviously needs to be a feature added to future releases of JFW to
alert the user when a table is too large to display on the screen or printed
out in its entirety so adjustments can be made to correct this issue. A
remedy for this situation would be very much appreciated before the list of
entries grows astronomically.
