Spelling has been slow and quirky since JAWS 11. The ribbons are just the nature of Office. Have you tried the virtual ribbon in JAWS 12 beta?

I can't get it to do anything, everything is on ribbens now. Jaws 11 and 12 beta both do the same, and now trying to get it to work, It has somehow removed my spelling tab from my outlook express settings so that I can't check spelling. Is there some setting I need to do so that I can use outlook? Its seams like word 2010 is working though. I am still on windows XP pro, I don't see why that could be it, but I don't know. Anyway any help would be welcome.\ Thanks Dewey Bradley Springfield Missouri
