Daniel,

I truly believe that you need to find a setting in Lotus that prevents it from 
highlighting or marking spelling errors as you type.

You can go ahead and ask FS to develop the scripts to find a way for JAWS to 
ignore this, but I don't think it will be done quickly.

Another thought: verbosity. What is your verbosity setting? If beginner, try 
intermediate or advanced, and you can even try to turn off things like help 
balloons, tool tips, and smart messages in the verbosity settings dialog. One 
of those may be enabling JAWS to speak those spelling errors.

  Hello Dave, I believe I have gone through all the application settings and 
there is nothing that I am looking for that remotely resemble getting jaws to 
stop announcing mispelt when I don't want it to. Should I mention this to FS? I 
also took another check with the command Jaws key V to see if there was a 
feture that I could turn off in there temporally but no luck there either. 
  Look forward to hearing your advice.
  Many thanks 
  Daniel

  Daniel,

  I don't have IBM Lotus, so do not have a way to check. It's entirely possible 
that this feature is not part of the JFW scripts for Lotus.

  Have you checked the actual application itself to see if there are any option 
settings  you might be able to change.

    Hello Dave, I have checked the "editing options" part of the vervosaty 
dialog box with IBM, but it appears there isn't an option for what I am looking 
for. What do I need to do hear? It would be great if you could explore this as 
well to see if I have over looked anything. 
    Many Thanks 
    Daniel

    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.

      Dear list members regarding my question earlyer today about enabling this 
feature. 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

          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
