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.

Cheers

Dear Graham

I think your Jaws is not detecting the colour of the suspect word properly.
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.

Hi all.

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.

Cheers
