Hi Mahesh, They have replaced the dialog box based Spell checker with a pane on the right of the Ms Word window. It can be accessed using the F6 function key. However, the shortcuts like ALT+G for Ignore All, ALT+L for Change All, etc do not function any more. I am currently working using the TAB key though not as convenient as the shortcut keys.
You can also try out the JAWS keystroke ALT+SHIFT+L for listing identified Spelling errors and the keystroke INSERT+SHIFT+G for listing identified grammatical errors in Ms Word. Note that these keystrokes sometimes take long to produce output in large documents. Some additions to Spell check utility includes options like Read Aloud, Spell out, etc. These options may not be much useful to users of screen reading software however others may find them useful. Best Regards, Zujar. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mahesh S.

As Word got updated, I can't access the old style spell checker. Instead, the newly introduced editer comes up on pressing F7. It is hard to navigate with Jaws or NVDA, and the shortcut keys don't work consistently. Ander all these years of using the earlier system, I am finding the new thing from Microsoft rather distasteful. Anyways I can get back the old style spell checker that is accessible with screen readers? Thanks in advance, -- Dr. Mahesh S.
