Re: supressing announcement of row and column in a web table

Interesting about the movement commands. ;In that table I've been talking about, where each item in the grid is labeled as a heading level 3, with headings unchecked, I can not move by headings in that table, not that I want to. But On another page, those commands still work as expected. I'm not sure what might be "special" about those heading level 3s, but they are not recognized if I try moving with h to move from heading to heading. No big deal; I see no reason for them to be there in the first place.

If you mean by recognition, that using the letter t won’t work, it has nothing to do with that.  All such settings are for spoken announcements and all movement commands wwork as they did before.  For example, I can turn off if I turn off heading announcements and all movement by heading commands still work.

Thanks. I saw that item but thought it would disable the recognition of
tables, and I didn't want that, as I need to find the table and then
navigate my chosen column. Guess I should have just tried it first
rather than assuming.
