Sometimes it can take up to 2 seconds to move between cells. I have seen this issue on many different types of coputer. I have attached an excell file which you can see the problem in. with office 2010, this does not appear to be an issue. sometimes there is no speech at all when moving between cells, particularly if i have entered something into a cell and then hit enter to update it. I have noticed this is particularly present when inputting numbers, which you can do by using the price column in my excel sheet i've attached. The only way to fix this seems to alt tab out of the excel window and then back in again before it starts reading the cells, all be it very slowly. Incidentely I just have it reading cell coordinates, not boarders or other information beyond the text in the cells.\r\nI have noticed this issue for about the last 8 months using the NVDA next builds, but just haven't gotten around to reporting it. My bad.\r\nI use Excel daily for work now so this is getting to be a real issue for me. Any help you could offer would be most appreciated and I am happy to try things to help. many Thanks.\r\n[collection.xlsx](https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/files/1118055/collection.xlsx)\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nvaccess/nvda/issues/comments/429685521","html_url":"https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/7348#issuecomment-429685521","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nvaccess/nvda/issues/7348","id":429685521,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQyOTY4NTUyMQ==","user":{"login":"Ednunp","id":29843396,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjI5ODQzMzk2","avatar_url":"https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/29843396?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ednunp","html_url":"https://github.com/Ednunp","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ednunp/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ednunp/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ednunp/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ednunp/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ednunp/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ednunp/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ednunp/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ednunp/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Ednunp/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-10-15T01:56:48Z","updated_at":"2018-10-15T01:56:48Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"Hi Quentin, thanks for the confirmation that these issues are still present. You are indeed correct that removing comments, and also dropdowns, as these are another slowdown does improve things. Excel is still very slow in large sheets of data say over 100 rows and 7 columns wide, but it does help. Sadly however many people especially in my organisation use these,a as I suspect to many others.\r\nTurning off editing in cells doesn't help very much, yes you can use the formula bar but as I said in my post on the 14th, sometimes if the formula is too big, you can't read this and it locks up.\r\n\r\nHowever, forgive me, your post doesn't mention how any of this is to be resolved. It seems to me we have a lot of issues building up in Excel that make it very hard or frustrating to use especially in an office environment, with no clear resolution path. Given these issues were first raised months ago, I'm curious to know how Microsoft and NVDA plan to work together to firstly fix them and secondly, ensure that when MS make future changes they inform NVDA before it breaks again.\r\n\r\nIn a similar vain, we now have an issue in Outlook where NVDA cannot read the auto suggest names completion box when composing emails. This has also been open for several months and seems to have been as a result of MS making changes in an update.\r\nThese issues make the programs difficult or very frustrating to use on a day to day basis which is a shame because NVDA is a fantastic screen reader with MS Office when it works properly. Is there a plan to engage with MS or have them engage more directly with NVDA to resolve any of this either in this version of Office or the upcoming versions?\r\n\r\nThanks.\r\n\r\nEd."}}
