JAWS has two different ways of reading a table: Simple Layout Mode and Screen Layout Mode. Simple Layout mode, the default option, reads tables the same as in all prior versions of JAWS, and Screen Layout Mode lets you view tables the way a sighted person would see them. To change from Simple layout to Screen Layout Mode: 1. While in Internet Explorer, press Insert+V to bring up the JAWS Verbosity settings. 2. Press the Down-Arrow key once, and you will hear “Document presentation Simple layout.” 3. Press Spacebar to toggle between Simple layout and Screen Layout. Other useful commands are: — Jump to next table: t. — Jump to cell within current table: Control+j; Windows logo key+j in Firefox. — Return to Previous Cell in Table: Ctrl+Shift+j; Shift+Windows Logo Key in Firefox. — Table List: Ctrl+insert+r lists the tables on a web page; works for Explorer and Firefox.
