Re: re-spellcheck in Word

Hi Jane,

You just have to fool Spell Check, because it has no way to know you've 
changed your mind about the words you said to ignore the first time though. 
As far as spell check is concerned, that was the  operation. The way I get 
around this when the same thing happens is to select  whatever you've spell 
check, whether it's just a paragraph or the entire document, Control X to 
cut to Clipboard, and immediately Control V to paste it back into the 
document.

Now Word and Spell Check will react as if it's brand new copy you're asking 
to be scrutinized, and this time those words you skipped over will come up 
again to be corrected.

If this trick makes you afraid you'd lose your work by accident, just be 
very careful and don't do anything or certainly copy or cut anything else 
until you paste the material right back in. Then do a control S to save, 
just so you feel secure. I do that. Now spell check again.

Hope this helps.

Subject: re-spellcheck in Word


I use Word 2000 and JAWS 8. In spell checking a document, if I have ignored 
a word or two and wish to re-spellcheck the document, how do I accomplish 
this. Simply hitting F-7 only informs me that the spell check is complete, 
when in fact it is not.
