Judith, To here this functionality in Word try the following: 1. While in Word, press JAWS key+v to open the verbosity menu. 2. Press down arrow until you here spelling and grammar. 3. Press the spacebar until you here spelling grammar on plus count. 4. Press enter to close and save this setting. Note: There three settings for spelling and grammar; off, onn and onn plus count. In Word, these verbosity settings are saved. I believe this will only work if you have check spelling as you type checked in Options/tools. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a PRIVATE message.
