Angel,
If I understand your first question correctly, you're saying you have either
your word processor or email application set to spell-check as you write. If
so, you can disable this feature typically in the program's tools menu. I can't
imagine writing while being spell-checked every step of the way, never mind
grammar-checked. Still, spell-check picks up errors I might otherwise overlook,
so I spell-check each document and email message on completion. for MS word and
MS's email programs, you commence this operation with F7.

Braille rough drafts were a God Send in those days weren't they? I do have
a question, however. I and a friend were listening together a paper he was to
present regarding special accommodations made for those with various
disabilities around the world. One such accommodation was that of allowing
students to write sans spell check. My question is how does one disable the
spell check feature. I wasn't aware this could be done. I would like to
disable spell check just because it is a possibility; and I can live without
it. Another question I have: If one switches from American to British
English, will the spell check also change? Or are we stuck with the American
spelling. My friend told me that is why he doesn't use spell check. He said
the various professional groups for whom he writes require he spell
differently. He prefers doing this himself.

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
