Seems to me that sometimes it will let you and sometimes it will not. I =
don't know under what circumstances that happens. Similarly the problem =
of it not reading you the suspect word, but this I think is a Jaws focus =
issue because like others, tabbing back and forth often clears it up.
Has anyone found a way to have the spell checker leave you at the last =
location in the text when you quit it as happens in Word or Outlook? I =
find this an inconvenience because often it provides a prompt for some =
editing.
Thanks.
