Chris, In fact, with JAWS 9 the spell checker in OE that came with XP Pro works very nicely. However I suspect it may be because the OE spell checker is a third-party application that I'm using. If you or anyone else on this list recall, Outlook Express as delivered with XP Pro only does spell check in French. It requires a separate application to be installed to get it back to checking in English. The version of OE that I have is: 6.00.2900.5512 The application I installed is: Spell Checker for OE 2.1 Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 11:20 Subject: Re: Word 2003 Spell Check Yes, it used to be in the days of JAWS 3.x and Word 97.
