Hi Adrian, I'm using Outlook 2010. Shift-tabbing back in an open message till I get to the "From" line and then routing JAWS to PC does indeed let me check spelling of names. But as I think as also been mentioned, you can do the same by pressing control-r (which you would probably be doing anyway, assuming you were going to reply to the message) and then arrowing down to the "From" line. It's also just as quick, instead of arrowing down, just to tell JAWS to find the word "behalf", without the quotes. As usual, many ways of doing the same thing.

Yes, this works the way you describe, but it doesn't solve the problem that you can't arrow through a name to check spelling. That's a problem when you have the long "From" lines that come with list messages. FYI, you can get directly into the "From" field by holding down the alt key and pressing 1 above the letters twice quickly. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Whitehead Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 3:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Checking spelling with JAWS cursor hello; in outlook; 1, enter on the message in which you wish to find out the sender's name to spell, 2, shift+tab to the from line, make sure the name/email is highlighted, now use the insert+numpad5 pressed twice quickly. works for me all the time. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 12:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Checking spelling with JAWS cursor In Outlook, JAWS won't read info in the "From" field letter by letter. Instead, set up a reply to the message and arrow down to the "From" line. Then you'll be able to go letter by letter. Just be sure not to hit "Reply"! -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Maria Campbell Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 12:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Checking spelling with JAWS cursor For sometime now I have not been able to use my JAWS cursor to check spelling. Example, I'm trying to check the spelling of Eric Damery's last name on the from field in a message. When I route JAWS cursor to pc cursor, JAWS just says blank. What's up with that? I'm using Thunderbird and JAWS 2018. -- Maria Campbell [email protected] "Preach the Gospel, and when necessary use words!" --St. Francis For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
