Accessibilty and hyperlinks in Excel
Hi-
It appears as though Excel does not support using keyboard shortcuts with hyperlinks in cells. While the documentation says one can "Press Enter to activate a hyperlink", pressing Enter merely moves the cell indicator in the default direction. The other bit I found was that Microsoft specifically will not launch a hyperlink activity if the cell has been navigated to by use of the arrow keys. This design was so that someone editing an Excel spreadsheet would not needlessly launch a webpage or other file while editing. This does not bode well for someone who cannot hold a mouse. Does anyone out there have a solution? I feel this is a specific occassion where accessibility should be the watchword, not workaround. Regards, Ellen |
