Topic: About the Task Pane
Introduction. The Task Pane is a new feature in Excel 2002 or later . The Task
Pane displays commands related to frequently used features. The contents of the
Task Pane change, depending on the task you are performing. For instance,
commands related to opening a workbook appear in the Task Pane when you open
Excel.
The Task Pane appears next to the document window. You can move the focus to
the Task Pane by pressing the Alt key and then Ctrl-Tab. Once in the Task Pane
you can select commands by pressing Tab or the Arrow keys.

Topic: About the Adjust JAWS Verbosity Dialog Box
Introduction. You can use the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog box to change
settings that affect the amount and type of information that JAWS reads. When
you open this dialog box from the Excel program, it will contain settings you
can adjust for the Excel program. For instance, you can change the amount of
information that JAWS reads for the selected cell. By default, JAWS reads the
cell's coordinates and content when you select it. You can change this setting
so that JAWS only reads the cell's contents.
JAWS will save the changes you make to the verbosity settings. It will
continue to use the verbosity settings you chose until you make another change.
This tutorial uses the default settings in the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog
box. When you need to make a change, you will be directed to do so.
Exercise Objective. In the following exercise, you will open and review the
default settings in the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog box for the Microsoft
Excel program.

box.

"Title Equals Microsoft Excel - Book1."
Step 2: Press Insert-V to open the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog box. JAWS
announces, "List Box Cell Verbosity Contents plus Coordinates 1 of 25."
The focus is in the Adjust JAWS Verbosity list box.
This dialog box has a list box, Close button, and Execute button.
Step 3: Press Insert-Tab to read the current setting. JAWS announces, "List
Box Cell Verbosity Contents plus Coordinates 1 of 25."
Step 4: Press the Down Arrow key repeatedly to review the settings.
To change a setting, select the setting. Then, use the Spacebar or the Execute
button to cycle through the options. When you have selected the setting you
prefer, change another setting or activate the Close button.
Step 5: When you have finished reviewing the dialog box, press Tab until the
Close button is selected. Then, press Enter to activate the button.
JAWS accepts any changes you may have made and closes the dialog box. If you
made changes, JAWS will announce, "Application Settings Saved."

Topic: Exiting Excel
Introduction. This topic explains how to exit Excel. If you made changes to a
workbook since the last time you saved it, a dialog box will prompt you to save
it before exiting Excel. To prevent mishaps, you should always save your
workbooks before you activate the Exit command. If you exit Excel without
saving your workbook, you will not be able to retrieve any changed information
in the workbook. If you created a new workbook and chose not to save it, the
workbook is not available for future use.
The Exit command appears on the File menu. This tutorial directs you to use the
keyboard shortcut Alt-F4 when exiting Excel.
Exercise Objective. In this exercise, you will exit Excel without saving the
Book1 workbook.

been saved.
