Most screen reading programs have commands to read true tables. So,
she should create real tables with columns and rows, and headers and
labels and the like. For most screen readers, but not all,
alt-control plus an arrow key moves right left, up or down one cell
within a table.<br><br>

Hello wise Athen-ers!<br>
<br>
Happy New Year! A colleague of mine is learning how to make accessible
PowerPoints, but she likes tables. She wants her tables to be screen read
column by column, top to bottom instead of row by row, left to right.
After some Google searching I came up with pretty much nothing. Is this
reasonably feasible or should I encourage her to learn to love an
alternative like text boxes that look like the columns she desires?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
