David,
I have Excel on my work Mac, but have never opened it. I do use the insider
preview so I have the latest version. I believe in the help menu there is a
feedback form, so that might be worth it especially if you are willing to use
preview versions of Microsoft Office.
Best
Thanks Dave, I think I’ll stick with numbers. I’ve been using it for a couple
years and I’m pretty good with it so thanks for all the answers.

Phil,
Don’t know if you can purchase and install Excel by itself. I signed up for the
annual Microsoft Office 365.
There are pros and cons with each, Numbers and Excel. With Numbers you can
assign column and row headers that will speak as you navigate, but you cannot
jump quickly from one popul

I notice that VO does not play well with Excel. When I do tap F2 to edit a
cell, the formula displayed is always the previous one I visited for editing. I
consistently need to press Esc and then F2 again to have the current cell
formula in the edit field.

Hi,
Oops, sorry, I guess I didn't properly read the question. I heard the part
about being awesome at Excel on Windows, and wrongfully went to Numbers on the
Mac. What a dolt. Sorry Dave.

Option return is the keystroke for numbers spreadsheets, but does it work in
excel for Mac? That is what Dave is using isn’t it? By the way I’m a big
numbers user and I might like to try XL on the Mac. How is it Accessibility
wise and is it a lot like XL and windows? What do I have to do to get
Hi,
I guarantee that option-return works for this. It has been a feature in
Numbers forever. I seem to recall that you're using a non-Apple keyboard. Is
it possible that you were not using the actual "Option" key to do the action?

Nope, Option + Return only moved the focus to the cell below. What did work was
good old F2. It then positioned the cursor to the immediate right of the last
character in the cell. but thanks for pushing me in that direction.

Hi,
No. Simply arrow to the cell you wish to edit, press option-return and the
cursor is placed at the end of the information within that cell. If it was
just data, you could arrow left/right to manipulate it, or press delete to
remove portions of it. If it is a formula, then use left/right
Tim,
That does not work. Do I need to have any specific settings enabled to edit
formulas?
