O, Lord, I cannot believe that! O, well, yeah, maybe I can--never mind.
I think you'll find the solution may be as simple as making a custom
highlight. Here's how to do that.
1) open a blank document in word;
2) Put in 1 deliberately misspelled word, e.g., fatige instead of fatigue;
3) Open the spell checker (f7);
4) It'll flag fatige--activate your jaws cursor, either by pressing
numpad dash on a desktop or jawsKey p if using a laptop, route the
jaws cursor to the pc cursor, & press home;
5) Press ctrl jaws key h (usually insert if using a desktop, often
capslock if on a laptop);
6) Press enter to clear the dialog, usually 3 times;
This will make the color used by the spellchecker highlighted, & it'll
speak from now on. Let us know if that works/not for u.
