Hi,
VO-c will read the column header. I think that the limitation is with the
specification of the header row. If I'm not mistaken, your header rows must be
the top most rows. So, rows one through five can be designated as header rows,
but not individually. That is, if you have one header r
Okay, this is strange. So, I have 8 columns that should be spoken as I navigate
through the rows of. The columns start around from A7 to H7. When I set Column
header, in the “table” formatter tab, it just sets row 1 and up as the header.
Maybe this isn’t what I’m looking for? I just want Voiceov
Hi Dave,
Within a given spreadsheet, you can have numerous sheets, and within each
sheet, you can have any number of tables. You normally just have one table,
but if you like to get complicated, you can have more. I set up one for a
curriculum alignment sheet that had three worksheets, each w
Hi Devin,
As long as you've designated the row or column as a Header Row or Header
Column, just press VO-r or VO-c to hear the titles for the rows and/or columns.
You designate these under the Table menu in the MenuBar. If you have one row
at the top that you wish to be the Header Row, then s
Tim and Phil,
I think I need just a bit more “under the hood” definition. You both say that
Numbers uses a group or collection of tables with headers, whereas Excel does
not. I am having a problem (typical engineer that I am) wrapping my head around
what you mean by this group or collection. I e
Is there a way to read headers in Numbers? I have a time sheet, with

That kind of thing, and going back up to the header column is really tedious.

Hi Dave,
I get it now. The problem arises from the way that Excel is laid out compared
to Numbers. Notice that the Column headings such as A, B, C etc are handled
differently in Excel and Numbers. In Excel, you can move one row up and read
the cell reference letters pertaining to the column
Tim,
You may have already caught the underlying problem: It not the lack of the
Column/Row coordinates, it’s that the top row and leftmost column cannot be set
up to speak as I navigate the spreadsheet. My large financial sheets elude my
brain’s ability to remember just what each row means, or
Phil,
While not the answer I wanted, it was not unexpected. But your experiences
being exactly the same as mine give me more encouragement to go back and start
working harder with the Numbers app. Except for not being able to quickly jump
across large blank areas, having the row and column heade
Hi,
Not sure what settings are "negatively" affecting your Mac. Sorry for the pun,
I couldn't resist. Anyway, if I use arrow or tab navigation in Excel, the cell
reference is announced. That is, VO will say "23.5, E7". I can also press
VO-r or VO-c to have VO announce the row or column that
I think one problem may be that you’re still thinking in terms of jaws and
windows whilst working on a Mac. When I first transitioned to the Mac someone
told me to just forget about jaws and work with vo because they are two
different systems and you can’t transfer functionality of one over to t
I’m spending a large amount of time re-acquainting myself with Excel on the
Mac. It’s my preference because I can very quickly leap from one set of data to
another, skipping over all the blanks. Numbers does not offer this.
Okay, I’ve resolved the negative numbers issue by using Tom as my voice,
