Dear Dave,
Thank you for your response.
However, I am afraid I do not even know what "checking syntax" is!
LOL!
I am pretty lame when it comes to changing things and such!

Thanks anyway Dave!

  Alan,

  Perhaps look for something like checking syntax? Not sure, but that may be a 
starting point.

    Dear Jerry, And List members,
    This has been a situation I have been wanting help with for a long time now.
    My Spell Checker used to announce multi spaces in Word 2003, I do not know 
what I did to mess it up, but it does not any longer!

    I am currently using XP and JAWS 11 but the problem started about a year 
ago, when I was still using JAWS 9, so I do not think that matters, I think I 
accidentally hit a key combination that turned that feature off.

    So I have been doing what was suggested with the "search and Replace" 
feature.

    Any idea how I can get my Spell Checker to once again announce multi spaces?

    Thanks for any assistance!

    With Best Regards,

      Hina:  Usually, if using the SpellChecker feature, and it says that there 
is an extra space, you can escape out of Spell Checker and the cursor will 
remain at the area where there is an extra space.  Just backspace and then save 
the document and continue with the Spell Checker.  I know that it is time 
consuming, but it works.  Jerry

        hi,
        i am writing a lots of reports and i did figure out formatting issues, 
but i am not sure how will i know if there are extra spaces between words, 
sentenses and paragraphs without reading word by word which is so time 
consuming? for sighted people, microsoft word highlights but is there any way 
to know with jaws? microsoft's spell checke option says that there is extra 
space and suppose to change it to make corrections, but they still remain and 
is there a way to deal with this issue with jaws?
        i would be very thankful for your help.
        hina.
