Well, excuse me Sir, but your comment is quite
rude. Have you ever thought just maybe that I'd only been home from work a
matter of 10 to 15 minutes when I wrote that message? Secondly, have you ever
thought that maybe... just, maybe... at that time, I didn't have access to a
computer that had NVDA installed on it, and that that's why I didn't try? Give
this guy a break for crying out loud!
I don't know what you find so amusing, in your
words, about my previous message, but I'll tell you one thing: your comment
definitely wasn't so, with all due respect.

firstly, NVDA works quite well with Excel. For you to say you
have not
had the chance to try Excel with NVDA amuses and puzzles me,
because
NVDA is free.
