Incorrect Information in Excel

Rob
I'm starting the NVDA module for working with Excel. My version is excel 2016 and NVDA 2017.1.
I pressed control+n to bring up a new workbook. When trying any of the navigation or reporting keys. Left/right/up/down arrow, or Insert tab. NVDA just says, cell. Is this supposed to happen? |

what that does. Next, I would have a sighted person if you can see if you are indeed moving from sell to sell like you think you are. If you have another screen reader it would be interesting to see what those results are as well. Hope this helps. Sam -----Original Message-----

Turn on reporting cell coordinates in the Document formatting dialog.

You can create an app specific profile for this purpose. Cheers On 6/29/17, Sam Bushman <libertyroundtable@...> wrote:

Hi Rob, Sorry to chime in late, but glad the others were able to help you! Re reporting cell coordinates, from memory, the original behaviour of that setting a number of years ago was that it only affected tables in Word and the Web. Excel coordinates were always announced. In 2012.2 it was changed so that NVDA respected that setting in Excel, meaning if it isn't checked, you no longer get coordinates reported in Excel. Kind regards Quentin.
