Thank you for that tip. It didn't change the problem with the names of the tables, but it made a huge difference in how JAWS read, or didn't read, headers as you move around the cells.

You need to make sure the Defined Bookmarked Tables override verbosity setting in JAWS is set to "off" for the bookmarks to be announced.
