Yes, but these applications take a long time to open. I also believe the spell check is borrowed from Word, so if no Word then no spell-check.

Jamal Mazrui has written two very good editors for us. I use both TextPal and EdSharp almost every day. Both offer spell check and a thesaurus, plus many more bells and whistles for us blind guys. I use textPal for every thing from converting puff files to spell checking my email messages. Both are freeware and can be downloaded from: Inthane's Grab Bag, blind programming assistance, and Jamal Mazrui information and programs http://grabbag.alacorncomputer.com/ Once on the page search for TextPal and EdSharp HTH ----- Original Message ----- From: niamh To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010 4:57 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Word Processing problems I have problems with both Word and the Word processor in Works. Word is to complex and Works just doesn't display properly on my office computer. I turn out thousands of words a day at work, but the format is very simple and straight forward. I need a package with a good spell checker and thesaurus, but little more. I am working with JAWS 11. Any ideas?
