That shouldn't be happening. F7 works fine with all MS Office applications, but I'm using XP Pro, so not absolutely certain on Vista. But I'd be very surprised if F7 was no longer supported. I do know that JAWS 11 takes a long time to respond to a F7 command, and I credit this to JAWS 11 becoming somewhat bloatware. It's getting almost too large to maintain and keep working efficiently.

In previous versions of ms word the f7 key enabled him to use the spell checker in ms word and also outlook express, this is no longer the case. Can the spell checker still be used with jaws and if so how?many thanks
