I have precisely the same software and configuration.  It works in a very
inconsistent manner.   I have found that it helps to be patient.  Sometimes
it takes 30 seconds or more to start speaking, but it doesn't always give
you all of the information.  What I do when uncertain is to hit the escape
key to end the spell check.  It will then ask if you want to send it anyway.
I answer no.  Then going into the email, I check for myself.  The error or
such is always near the cursor.  If you move around with control plus the
left and right arrows. You will be exploring the email at the point that the
spell checker has found something .  You can then resume the spell check by
hitting control-enter again to send it.  The spell checking will start again
at that point.  I hope that I have been clear.  Just got up.

Hey listers,

            I'm using Jaws 10 with Windows XP.  I'm trying to spellcheck an
e-mail message and am not able to see what the misspelled word is.  Could
someone tell me if there's a hot key for this.  I use the control enter
keystroke to send my message.  I have my spellcheckerset to automatically
spellcheck my e-mail messages before sending them.  I would like to know how
to have Jaws reread the misspelled word.  In this particular instance Jaws
did not say the misspelled word.  He just said edit.  I tried to use the up
and down arrows to see if I could find the misspelled word but was
unsuccessful.  If someone could shed some light on why this might be
happening I would be much appreciative.
