Hi Dorothy, There are settings in the Outlook express options to ignore certain items in an E-mail as far as spell checking is concerned. 1. When in Outlook express, press alt+t for the tools menu. 2. Press o for options. 3. Press control+tab until you hear "Spelling page". 4. You are now in a dialogue which, among other items, includes check boxes to ignore certain items from the spell checking. These are Words in upper case, Words including numbers, Original text in forwards or replies and Internet addresses respectively. I have all of these checked to avoid spell checker from reporting on them. You change the status of the check boxes by pressing the space bar. 5. Having made any changes as required, tab to the ok button and press enter. I hope this helps, Phil Medway philmedway@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tel: 01869 347639 mobile: 07980 519990 Skype: philmedway ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorothy Ingram-Gorban" <dorothy.ingram-gorban@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 5:26 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Keystrokes please mark sorry I cannot help you but if others are working on your problem with the spell-check . Perhaps mine needs a similar fix on my laptop not my Desktop . What happens is this I do a forward for example , and I do not hear the word Edit , this using Outlook Express Jaws 8 so Have to overtype Jaws speaking to get into to the To message area . Next I type a reply and use the Spell-check what happens is the spell check offers a spell correction for my typed response but instead of stopping at that point Jaws goes on giving spell fixes for the message I am replying to. surely this should not happen as it will alter the integrity if I accept of the message I am either replying to or the forward I am sending on. Does Jaws or is it Microsoft check everything on the screen then? I am using Office 2002 OE Version 6. Thanks for any help an Dorothy Ps the clocks altered on my computers by themselves they always do ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq -- This email has been verified as Virus free Virus Protection and more available at http://www.plus.net ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
