The recent thread about Sec. 508 regarding Excel prompted this question:



How accessible are spreadsheets with current assistive technologies?



I'm sure the answer will be "it depends," but let's take 2 basic samples:



1. A spreadsheet of just plain data, such as a directory with names,
addresses and emails in rows and columns.
2. A spreadsheet with common, basic formulas, such as summation of a
column of numbers.
