Fwd: Accessible Excel spreadsheet

for

From: Wee, Kim (MNIT)

Over a year ago, I created some instructions on how to create an accessible=
Excel spreadsheet.

One of the advanced steps is to Define the Title Region. This step worked m=
ost of the time, with JAWS 13, in having the screen reader announce the row=
and/or column header. However, with JAWS 16, this doesn=92t seem to work a=
nymore and I can=92t find any information on the web when searching for the=
issue.

Would anyone have any instructions or advice to share on this issue? I want=
to make sure we are creating the most useable Excel documents we possibly =
can.

Thank you.
