With JAWS, you\u2019ll hear \u201cUpper ribbon.\u201d ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-a-screen-reader-to-explore-and-navigate-excel-cbf024e8-2abd-4764-b639-f24eed659a53?utm_source=openai))  \n- Use the **Left Arrow** and **Right Arrow** keys to move to different ribbon tabs. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-a-screen-reader-to-explore-and-navigate-excel-cbf024e8-2abd-4764-b639-f24eed659a53?utm_source=openai))  \n- Once you reach a tab you want, press **Enter** (or Down Arrow) to open its ribbon contents. ([blindtechnology.wordpress.com](https://blindtechnology.wordpress.com/2010/12/17/microsoft-ribbon-is-accessible/?utm_source=openai))  \n- To exit the ribbon, press **Esc** or **Alt** again. ([vip.chowo.co.uk](https://vip.chowo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/jaws/File-Explorer-10-Guide.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Moving Between Worksheets (Tabs in a Workbook)\n\nWhen by \u201ctabs\u201d you mean the various sheets (worksheets) within an Excel workbook, the following work very well:\n\n- **Ctrl + Page Down** \u2192 Move to the next worksheet to the right. ([manycoders.com](https://manycoders.com/excel/shortcuts/switch-between-excel-tabs-shortcut/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Ctrl + Page Up** \u2192 Move to the previous worksheet to the left. ([manycoders.com](https://manycoders.com/excel/shortcuts/switch-between-excel-tabs-shortcut/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Using JAWS Dialog to Select a Worksheet\n\nIf you have many worksheets and want to jump directly to a specific one:\n\n- Press **Ctrl + Shift + S**. This brings up the \u201cMove to Worksheet\u201d dialog box in newer versions of Excel with JAWS. ([sightforsurrey.org.uk](https://sightforsurrey.org.uk/get-help/vision-impairment/technology-and-equipment/ict-handouts-tutorials/navigating-worksheets-using-jaws-2/?utm_source=openai))  \n- In the list of worksheets shown, you can:\n  - Use the **Down Arrow** to move through the list, or  \n  - Press the **first letter** of the sheet's name repeatedly to jump to that sheet.  \n- Press **Enter** to open the sheet you\u2019ve selected. ([sightforsurrey.org.uk](https://sightforsurrey.org.uk/get-help/vision-impairment/technology-and-equipment/ict-handouts-tutorials/navigating-worksheets-using-jaws-2/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me exactly which \u201ctabs\u201d you meant (worksheet tabs vs ribbon/menu tabs), or your version of Excel, I can give you a more specific shortcut that works best for your setup."
