Have you used the Insert-F7 to at least get JAWS to re-read and re-spell the original word and the suggested replacement? This helps me get by when OE isn't providing enough info. Cher >>> "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 12/07/06 6:20 PM >>> I'd just like to testify that, although I've had Jaws versions that didn't handle the Spell Check dialogue and functions very well in OE, for the past couple of versions it's been perfectly fine. This is just some kind of recent glitch or corruption of some esoteric file deep in some program or something. I guess I'd need an I T professional to make an educated guess. We do not so badly on this list despite precious few of us being real gearheads, let alone pros, but this is one of those things it probably won't do much good just to speculate about. Oh, well. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dale Leavens To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 3:05 PM Subject: Re: OE spell check and Jaws problem Funny, the word in context has never worked for me in Outlook Express and neither does the spell checker drop me at the offending word when I drop out of the spell checker as it does in Word or MS-Outlook. This through all versions of jaws from 2.2 through 7. I don't yet have version 8. So, is there something I need to do to make this work like it does in Word and Outlook?

It sounds improbable, but have you not rebooted your PC during this time? I find that spell-checker gets exhausted after prolonged use and stops working properly, if at all. A reboot usually fixes the problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: Yardbird For only what seems like a few weeks, spell check while I'm composing email in OE composing email seems to have suffered a bit of a breakdown. For some typos and misspellings, it still lets me "see" the suspect word in context when I press the Jaws/Insert key plus C. But a good deal of the time, now, to my considerable distress, if I can't recall from the sound of the mistake what I meant to say and choose well from the list of options for replacement, and press Insert C, all I hear is "Word not found." This isn't much help, of course, so I give the command to Ignore the mistake and go on. After closing the spell checker when it's done as well as it was able under the circumstances, I close it and review the entire message, seeking out the remaining mistakes manually and correcting them myself. This isn't nearly as much fun as having a fully functional spell checker working for me. to put it nicely. Any ideas? This is Jaws 7.0 and OE 6, and I haven't changed anything in either of those two applications for ages. Maybe even forever. Thanks.. No virus found in this incoming message.
