There are new navigation keys to be used when in a table. These commands read the contents of the cell, along with the associated row and column headings. The same keystrokes can be used to navigate tables in Microsoft Access databases, Excel, Internet Explorer 5, PowerPoint, and Word, and in Corel QuattroPro and WordPerfect.

To read row and column headings, first go into the application you wish to use, then press Insert+V to open the JAWS Verbosity Dialog box. Down arrow until you land on "Table Title Reading". Press the spacebar to toggle through the various choices and stop when you hear "both titles". Press Enter to close the Verbosity Dialog Box and your settings will be automatically saved for that table.
