Yeah, I find I have to do this a lot with Jaws 18. Luckily it loads pretty fast on my machine. I just ran the spell-check again and was encountering the same problem as usual. The list box appeared to be there, but all I heard when arrowing was a line from my document. I restarted JAWS, and it worked more smoothly, though still hardly perfect (it once spelled out the words "no selected items" instead of a word suggestion...haha). Still, I was able to arrow up and down successfully. Weird. I had a feeling your suggestion might work, because I have had to do this with a number of other programmes, too. Just seems to be a thing with JAWS now, losing its proper focus. I do think maybe it does this more often with older applications. As I said, I'm using Office 2010. I also decided to put Winamp on this machine, and JAWS often isn't able to focus properly on the playlist editor, so that arrowing through songs does not speak. Restarting JAWS seems to fix that problem, too. Maybe I shouldd try a simple refresh command next, and see if that works...just thought of that, too.
Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cheng Kwang Kwa Sent: August 30, 2017 9:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Office 2010 spell-check and JAWS Try restarting jaws.

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.
