[Athen] question re Excel and accessible html

[Patrick Burke]

Hi John, Norm & all,

Jaws table commands in IE are: Control-Alt-Arrow keys to move around 
the table (Control-Alt-Numpad 5 to read current cell).

I have gotten Excel files to export successfully in the past, using 
the .mht filetype. (Lots of extra frames & things around, but the 
table itself came through in readable form.)

Hope this helps,
Patrick
