How odd, I have used Word since 97 and am now in Office 365 and spell check seems to work mostly the same from when I started using Word in 1998 until now, always great except it does not have medical words and since I am retired I have not updated the medical speller addition.

I am using Jaws 2018 with Word 2016, but I am using Office 365 version, so there could be incremental updates to the spell checker. When pressing F7, Jaws says the misspelled word, I can then tab to Read Sentence, and finally, a list of suggestions is shown, along with synonyms, just so that you can make sure you are choosing the correct word. You can use up and down arros to navigate the list of suggestions. Then, after pressing enter, the next misspelled word is spoken, and I can just tab to the list of choices again. I find it to be a very seamless experience, and a vast improvement over the spell check in Office 2013.
