Interesting question. I never thought to ask it. I have found that If I know I want to hear the result in the cell where I just finished entering information, I press Tab and then Shift-Tab. My reason for doing this is that when pressing Enter, you do not know where it is going to put you. Most of the time it will just drop you to the cell immediately below the one you were just working in. However, sometimes it will put you elsewhere on the row below where you were working. Excel appears to try and learn your patterns. So if you are entering data in A1, B1, C1, and then A2, B2, C2, Excel will assume you want to place the next set of info starting in A3.
You can also move out of a cell you are putting in data with the Down Arrow or Right arrow. If you are editing a cell's contents with F2, you will have to use the Tab or Enter to get out of the cell. Arrow keys do not work because you can use them inside the cell while you are editing the cell. I hope this makes sense and is helpful.

I have been trying to learn to use Excel and Word. I have a thousand questions, but I have just one question which I cannot get am answer. When I enter a data in an Excel cell and press enter, Jaws speaks the contents of the cell below when the curser lands on it. I want the curser to remain im the cell that I just changed. Are there any settings that I can change so that Jaws remains in the changed cell? Any help would greatly be appreciated before I pull all my hair out! Thanks.
