You have to activate the recheck button with the space bar, for some reason it doesn't work when you pres enter. Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Dean,Out of curiosity, I followed your suggestion to open the Tools/Options menuin Word and tab down to the Recheck Document item which, unlike the other items in the list, isn't something you can check or uncheck, but a control that supposedly does something if you click on it.So, first I typed a line of text with a bunch of misspellings in a new Worddocument. Then I ran spell check, but chose to ignore a couple of egregiously misspelled words while correcting a couple of others. Finished with spell check, I went into Word options, on the spelling tab, tabbed down to that control, and pressed enter on it. the Options dialogue closed, and I was back in my document with the lineconsisting of some corrected words and others still wrong. Nothing had been done, and no spell checker was active. So I launched the spell checker withF7 as usual, to see if this control had given me permission to run spell check again as a blank slate, but no. Spell check just rang its chime asusual and announced that the spell check was complete. Pressing that buttonhad availed me nothing. Did you forget to mention a step in how to use this? I can't figure outanything I might have done wrong. And by the way, if you try to launch spell check again, hoping for the dialogue to stay up while you look for a "checkagain" check box or button, that doesn't work, either. It just chimes and says you're finished.I was intrigued enough to give this a try, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyideas? So I clicked on it.----- Original Message ----- From: "Dean Martineau" <dean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 4:10 PM Subject: RE: re-spellcheck in WordTo recheck the document, hit alt+t, then o, and navigate to the spelling andgrammar page, where you will find a checkbox for recheck document. I don'tknow, because I now have Word 2007 so can't check, but perhaps when you hit f7 you can tab to an options button within that dialog that informs you that the spell check is complete, but if that can't happen, the first route willwork. Dean From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jane Withers Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 3:27 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: re-spellcheck in WordI use Word 2000 and JAWS 8. In spell checking a document, if I have ignoreda 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. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.comJFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxTo unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfwIf you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
