thanks Tris. I will try this. Interestingly I do not get this problem with older versions of JAWS for Windows, only version 6.1. Have not tried version 6 yet.

Try going into the display settings and drop the colour depth down to 16bit and give the PC a restart. I have fixed that problem with the above method at least once on XP. I don't recall whether with Word 2003 though. Regards.

Sorry to cross post but I am having a problem with JAWS for Windows 6.1 and the MS office 2003 spell checker. This is happening in Microsoft Word. When I press f7 I hear not in dictionary but I do not hear the word or the spelling suggestions. using insert f7 does not give this either. I have had a couple of people saying they have this problem but I wonder if anyone is able to get the spell check in Word to work propperly with Word 2003 spell checker? It does seem a glaring error to release JAWS with such a fundamental component not working propperly.
