Ed, I haven't played much with the new speech manager functions in JFW 5.08, but I'll bet you could set it up to alert you of a misspelling in that version. Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "emarquette" <emarquette@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2004 7:14 PM Subject: Spell Check as you type MS Word has a function that that identifies spelling errors as one types. They are identified visually with a curvy underline. If "spelling and grammar" is turned on, the word will be identified as misspelled as you cursor over it. The problem is that you have likely just passed the word while typing. I am wondering if there is a way, in either Word itself or in JFW, to trigger a sound the instant the curvy line shows up. To my way of thinking, this would be wonderfully useful. I have sound effects turned on in Word, but no sound is heard. By the way, this is Word XP and JFW versions 4.51 or higher.
