comments and questions about how they are using Excel to complete homework assignments. I do not know the answers to their questions. Do you or any others here have further insight to share with us? I plant to contact Microsoft's accessibility helpdes- as
well. Thank you! ~Monica</div>

what specifically she would recommend to allow accessibility to inputting formulas when referencing specific cells with a screen reader. After typing “=” within excel, the user can start entering a formula. When trying to access cells if the user does not
know the specific cell at present I do not know how to use the highlighting feature to select cells to add. The screen reader does not provide feedback when selecting cells within the formula bar. During our meeting I hope to give you a better picture of
what this looks like.</span></p>

<span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14pt;">At present we use the go to dialog within the formula bar accessed with “control+g” or “f3 to paste a range name. This can be time consuming as we need to label specific cells or already have the range name in place.
If a user wants to select cells surrounding the cell the formula is being entered in, does a way exist allowing the user to accessibly read the cells being selected with the arrow keys?"</span></p>

Is there a reason why she did not use a “TitleRegion..E14” range name that would enable a screenreader to read the row and column title anytime the user has selected any cell within the table parameters? (Does the screenreader automatically read row and column
titles for any cell within a defined table?)</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Then my observation: The most(?) common use of Excel files is to calculate, then present or communicate data/information to the user of the file. Often the file creator is also the end user, but often the end user is a second
party. </span><span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span data-markjs="true" class="markdmu0stg15" data-ogac="" data-ogab="" data-ogsc="" data-ogsb="" style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14pt;">Karen</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">’s file is
a good example of the file creator communicating data/information to a second party. The student and I are using Excel to accomplish a somewhat different task – we are using Excel as an e-homework delivery system, comparable to MyAccountingLab (Pearson),
or CNow (Cengage), or Connect (McGraw-Hill), or WileyPlus (Wiley), or MyOpenMath (free, OER e-homework platform). So my objective is to present the student with an Excel file that provides data (often embedded in sentences or paragraphs) and a pre-designed
working area in which he does the accounting AND gets autofeedback as he works through the accounting requirements within a file. Our unorthodox use of Excel is part of what’s causing our biggest challenges – we’ll take you through examples when we meet."</span></p>

across row 1 contains links to specific cells in the worksheet so that someone can easily get to the point that they want.</span></p>

accessible to a blind student in her class. She has sent me specific questions about her excel files and there is a need for deeper support that is beyond my current knowledge.</span></p>

<p class="x_x_xmsonormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:#201F1E; background:white">While we have recently discovered a feature that lets a student <i>efficiently</i> use range names to create formulas (eliminating the need to know WHERE a given
piece of data is actually located), there are times when naming ranges is not efficient. So there are still times when we need to be able to refer to a specific location <i>in the process of creating a formula</i>. If the data is located on a sheet other
than where the formula resides, the only way we have been able to enter the cell address in the formula is by PRE-locating the cell, then eventually typing the cell address into the formula. This is cumbersome, time-consuming and a distraction from the flow
of accounting thought. So we are still hoping for a better way.</span></p>
