Thanks for the heads-up, David. It sounds like the problem is both a
Word and a screen reader issue. Maybe it will improve eventually.

NVDA to speak the misspelled word when using the spell checker in Word 2013
and Word 2016. These newer versions of Word don't use the older spell check
dialog we were used to and getting the screen reader to speak the misspelled
word seemed much harder than it should have been.
With NVDA, the way to do this is fairly unintuitive and I wish we could see
some work, either by Microsoft or with NV Access, to make this solution more
intuitive. The keystroke, at least to get NVDA to speak the word the first
time, is insert+numpad 4. This moves the review cursor to what is called the
previous navigator object and the word will be spoken. However, this works
when you are focused on the "ignore once" button, which is the first button
which usually comes into focus when you press f7. Once you press
insert+numpad 4, you must then press insert+numpad 5 to hear the word
repeated. What would be nice is if Microsoft could include a read-only edit
field containing the misspelled word but later versions of Word do not
include this feature.
With JAWS, pressing insert+f7 speaks the incorrect word, along with the
suggestions.
