At least for MS-Word, you press Insert+V then find a feature that turns off spell-checking. Should be under editing options. Don't know if this is available with IBM Lotus.

I have now done this. But I hit another snag. What it is when jaws encounters a mis-spelt word it says "mis-spelt" or something like that. I was wondering is there a way I can turn this off in jaws? Because when I tryed out NVDA that didn't detect the "mis-spelt word" and it can get really annoying! I mean I know when I have mis-spelt something! LOL Jaws doesn't need to say it for me. Many Thanks Daniel From: Daniel McGee Sent: Saturday, November 13, 2010 11:46 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: a spell check question with the IBM Lotus Symphony programme Hi all list members, I posted a while ago about this question I have but recieved no answers, so I will try again. What it is I am wanting this programme to do is like you know when you misspell a word in office (whatever version you are using) for the purpose of this I am using Office 2007. When I don't get a spelling right I like to go back to the indevidual word when I am spell checking my document and hit the application key and you are given a list of sergestions to choese from and in turn hopefully correct it. So what I am saying is this feature avadable in the IBM Lotus Symphony programmes? Is there somewhere where I have to enable it? Look forward to hearing your replys. Thanks Daniel
