Boy, timing is everything!  I typed my entire dissertation, save for the final 
draft, as well as scores of shorter assignments, on either a Smith-Corona 
portable, or an IBM Correcting Selectric 895.  When I got hold of my first XT, 
with DisplayWrite, you talk about a happy camper--I�m not over it yet!

Dave,

I have no idea how on earth I managed to survive college and such as we did not 
have the luxury of spell checkers. (LOLLOLLOL)

If you left out a sentence on page 1 of a multi page document, oh well, just 
start all over again.

Yes, I think that the amount of additional processing to cope with the layering 
of object models during the spell-check is a real challenge for JAWS, and it 
seems that no one at FS is able to find a way to make the process faster or 
more robust. It's a shame, since spell-checking is something I do with every 
E-Mail message and Word document I produce.

 

BTW the spell-check in Outlook Express is fast and efficient, so it appears to 
be an issue with the MS-Office suite version.

        I have to agree with you about the spelling being �unique� in JAWS 11, 
Office 2007 and W7 64 bit.

        It sure is not anything like the spelling with Office 2003 and JAWS 9 
or 10.

        Spelling has been slow and quirky since JAWS 11. The ribbons are just 
the nature of Office.

         

        Have you tried the virtual ribbon in JAWS 12 beta?

                Has anyone had any trouble with it?

                I can't get it to do anything, everything is on ribbens now.

                Jaws 11 and 12 beta both do the same, and now trying to get it 
to work, It has somehow removed my spelling tab from my outlook express 
settings so that I can't check spelling.

                Is there some setting I need to do so that I can use outlook?

                Its seams like word 2010 is working though.

                I am still on windows XP pro, I don't see why that could be it, 
but I don't know.

                Anyway any help would be welcome.\

                Thanks
