Again, this is where configuration profiles would come in handy. You could have this on for Excel, but off for your web browser.

Hi.  I've noticed that when you turn off cell coordinates as described, it completely silences the reading of blank cells in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.  Cells which contain data are read.  I had to turn it back on.  I don't know if the same thing happens in other programs with a tabular structure.

Thanks,

Hi.

Turn off row and column headers in the same document formatting settings in which you turn off the cell coordinates. That should fix your issue, and, of course, you can make good use of profiles for further customisation.

Hi all,
Okay this is kind of a weird problem, and one that has just cropped up
in the last few months as Wikipedia has reformatted the table at the
top of their radio station articles. The table appears as follows:
First five or six rows read fine, column and row reports are a bit
annoying but I know how to turn those off if wanted.
The next row contains murged columns with the subheading programming.
The next several rows contain the programming information, reading
that before every row and column announcement.
Then another set of murged columns, this one saying ownership. Again,
NVDA reads these with the subheadings after every column.
Then it's history, technical information, and links. So, by the time
you get to the end of the table, you have NVDA saying "row 24 links
technical information history ownership programming" before it gets to
the actual information in the table. As I said, I know how to turn off
row and column reporting if desired, but how do I stop NVDA from
reading all these subheadings in every row and column of the table?
