Excel tips in telugu

Excel 2007 is packed with many features, including one called Speak Cells, which basically lets you feed your chosen cells to a text-to-speech engine.  It is a great accessibility tool – when my eyes are  too tired to read the cells on my computer screen, I just let Excel read aloud the values for me.

By default, it is not easily accessible in the Excel menu, so a little tweak in the Quick Access toolbar is necessary.  First open the Quick Access Toolbar then choose More Commands:

Next to the Quick Access Toolbar, click Customize Quick Access Toolbar.

Click More Commands.
In the Choose commands from list, select All Commands.
Scroll down, and for each text-to-speech command that you want to use, click the Speak Cells command, and then click Add.
Click OK.
When you want to use a text-to-speech command, click it the Quick Access Toolbar.

The computer voice will speak the values of the cells you selected.  To switch between speak by rows or speak by columns, just click on their corresponding buttons:

This buttons acts like a switch.  Only one is active so when you click one of them, the other one gets deactivated.

This is one of the best accessibility features of MS Office 2007.  This feature helps me validate data in cases when I’m too tired to accurately read the values of many cells.
