Hi, this is true and I don't disagree with your point. However after a
while one must consider where is the line between efficiency and doing
it the "windows" way. An example is this. When you check the computer's
time, do you press Insert-T which is a Window-Eyes hot key, or do you
press Windows-B for the notification area and arrow until you focus the
clock and hear the time. When you want to know the title of a program,
do you press Control-Shift-T or do you route your mouse to the top-left
of the screen and review it there. Both ways are valid, but sometimes
the Window-Eyes hot key way is more efficient. All that being said, we
are working to find out why the F7 "Office hot key", dialog isn't
speaking as with Office 2003 spell check. In the mean time however, we
have added many useful hot keys which are used in Word to make things
very efficient.
Many thanks.

Hi Raul
The hot keys you suggested are OK. However it requires people to learn
more WE specific commands. I feel that in keeping with the GW Micro
philosophy of learning the application, not the screen reader is
something that makes the company stand out.
Hence while WE is being updated, I feel it is important that it work
well with things like spell check so that we don't have to use
additional hotkeys to get the information we should easily get with the
standard Windows keyboard keys like up and down arrow, tab and
shift+tab, ...
We all know that this is possible, because other text to speech
applications manage those spell check dialogues very well. Also
Window-Eyes is doing it properly in the Office 2003 spell check
dialogues.

Hi, have you tried using the misspelled word hot keys Alt-; and Alt-' to
move backward and forward when you are composing? These should work just
like Word. When you reach one, press the Applications key to bring up
the Context menu and arrow to the suggestions.

This issue started in Office 2007 spell check. Window-Eyes struggles
in
reading the suggestion list. Sometimes it sounds like Window-Eyes is
trying to figure out what to read as the list is being populated. It
doesn't know which entry to read, because it may begin to spell one of
the suggestions down the list and continue to do so as more
suggestions
appear.
My work-around is to wait, then use the read current line hot key to
see
what WE is on in the list of suggestions. So far this has produced the
most accurate results for me.

Subject: Problem with Office 2010 Spell Check
Hello all.
Using Window-Eyes 7.5 with Office 2010, on a Windows 7 64 bit laptop,
I
am having a problem with Word's spell check feature. It does not read
the not in dictionary edit box very well, and the speech is choppy on
the suggestions list box. I have tried reinstalling the sets to no
avail. I am using the Eloquence synthesizer.
Just reporting a possible bug.
Chat soon.
