I use windows ten and office 10 and the spelling check is simple. When I want word to check for spelling mistakes I go to the top of the document and then I press F7 that will take me to the first misspelled word in the document. Office will spell the word as you spelled it. Press the tab key that will put you on a list of suggestions. Usually the first one is the correct one if not use the arrow keys to go to the list when you find the correct word press the tab key until you find change. Press the space bar and the misspelled word will be replaced with the correct word. Continue doing this until you reach the end of your document. Easy peasy.

Note that only the second is a JAWS command: Instead of F6 to go to the list of suggestions, press tab and use the up and down arrow keys. To hear the current line for context, press JAWS key+c. To accept a suggestion, press alt-c. Alt-I for ignore once, alt-g for ignore all instances of this spelling. Alt-u to go back and undo the previous action. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of JM Casey Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2017 3:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Office 2010 spell-check and JAWS Hello everyone. So I'm now running Windows 10, JAWS 18 and . Office 2010. I would like to upgrade to office 2016 sometime, but for now, this is just what I've got. The thing is, I used to have office 2000 at home o my old XP machine. I think I almost never used the spell-check. I had something against them, generally. Whaddyamean I need the computer's help to spell? Well, I got over it, mostly because of work. At this former workplace of mine, they got on board with office 2016 pretty quickly, and I used the spell-check there with success. You had to hit f6 to get over to the correct payne even though jAWS would usually announce results before you did this, or else things would not behave as they should, but generally it worked rather well. Now, I find that when I hit "f7" in Word 2010, for instance, I get feedback from the spell-check, but even though JAWS says "list box" and appears to be focused on the list of suggested word replacements, arrowing up or down just reads the line of my document with the error. F6 does absolutely nothing, so it seems. The "change", "ignore", etc buttons seem to work as they should, but . "change" isn't much good without being actually able to select a word choice. I can hit escape to modify the document manually, which I'm sort of ok with, actually, but this is still a bit inconvenient. What am I missing? Is this just what I can expect from JAWS and Office 2010? I'm using "print view" layout in Word, which is of course where I want to do most of my spell-checking, if that makes any difference. Any ideas? Thanks.
