Hi, When I hit F7 to start the spell checker, JAWS will say, Not in spellchecker But it will then not read the misspelled word. I can tab through the dialog box, see the first suggestion, etc., but Insert+C won't work, and I can't see the word that caused the trouble unless I escape out of the spell checker and read the line. At first, it seemed to happen with only some files, but recently it seems to be with all files, whether I use 7.0 or 7.1. Any advice would be appreciated, as I frequently validate for Bookshare, and the spell checker would be useful for that.
