An IBM Correcting Selectric, man, what luxury. (LOLLOLLOL)
How about an old Underwood, the one with the open case?
Yup, times they are a changing indeed. (LOLLOLLOL)
The vast majority of my college
English assignments were hand written. (oh, the pain)
I also remember the first ball point pen I owned. Long about 1953 or so. My
elementary school teacher nearly had a complete nervous breakdown. �Only low
class people and thugs would use such a device!� was her attitude.
We did lots of our school work with an Esterbrook fountain pen and learned
how to keep the ink from making a blob on the paper.
Those stories about dipping the little girl�s who set in the desk in front
of you hair in the ink well are *NOT* just stories. (LOLLOLLOL)
It served the little snot right for being such a stuck up you know what.

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
