Default Excel for Blind persons use

Hi Everyone,

I was aked to teach Excel to a person who is completely blind (he uses voice
recognition software named JAWS). He prefers to use the keys rather than the
mouse.

We found two issues using this method:
1. How can he use AUTOFILL without using the mouse - (JAWS does not
recognise the autofill mouse shape).
2. How can he select two non-adjacent ranges at once. (Already using SHIFT
to extend selection, however, using CTRL de-selects range)

I should think you are more likely to get an answer to this from the JAWS
people
