Hello Vicky,

 

I have a macro that will find all misspelled words before running spell
checker and put them in a list in a separate document.  If this will work
for you then the info is below.  You can then use CTRL with F6 to quickly
move between the new document with the list of misspellings and other open
documents.  Below are the steps to follow and then the code that can be
copied and pasted.  I am using Word 2013 so your version of Word might vary
somewhat.  

 

Create a new macro and make it available in the normal template.  Do this as
follows:

 

1)      Select and copy the code shown at the end of this message.  Make
sure all code is selected.  One way to do this is to put a place marker at
the very beginning of the code using Windows key with CTRL key and K.
Navigate down to the very end of the code and press JAWS key with spacebar
followed by M.  Use CTRL C to copy it to the clipboard.

2)      Press Alt key with F8.

3)      In the edit/combo box type the name GetSpellingErrors (Get, spelling
and Errors should all be capitalized words and use no spacing).  

4)      Tab across to the Macros In box and have it set on All Active
Templates and Documents.  

5)      Tab to the Create button and depress it.    

6)      Use CTRL+V to paste the code.

7)      Use CTRL+Home to go to the top of the window.

8)      The top line should read: 
Sub GetSpellingErrors()

9)      After pasting you might find that this first line is repeated.  In
this case select the top line and blank line after it if it exists and
delete them.  There should be just one occurrence of 
Sub GetSpellingErrors()
and it should be at the very beginning.  

10)   Go to the bottom of the document by using CTRL with the end key.  

11)   There should be only one line at the bottom that says 
End Sub
so if when you arrow up you find another occurrence of that line then select
it and delete it.  

12)   Check your window against the code below to make sure it is exactly
the same.  

13)   Press CTRL+S to compile the code.

14)   Use Alt+F4 to close the visual basic editor.

 

If Word doesn't let you run macros then you might need to change settings in
the trust center.  Use Alt+F followed by Alt+T to go into Word's options.
(These keystrokes are for Word 2010 and 2013, they might vary a little with
earlier versions of Word).  In the list of categories use End key to move
down to the trust center.  Tab to the trust center settings and use
spacebar.  Find macros in the list and tab to the group of radio buttons and
choose to have them disabled with notification.  Tab to the check box for
allowing access to the VBA project module and check it with spacebar.  Use
OK until out of dialog boxes.  

 

After creating the macro you can use Alt+F8, find the GetSpellingErrors
entry, tab to the run button and use spacebar.  You can also add the macro
to a key combination if you prefer.  

 

Here is the code:

 

Sub GetSpellingErrors()

Dim DocThis As Document

Dim iErrorCnt As Integer

Dim J As Integer

Set DocThis = ActiveDocument

Documents.Add

iErrorCnt = DocThis.SpellingErrors.Count

For J = 1 To iErrorCnt

Selection.TypeText Text:=DocThis.SpellingErrors(J)

Selection.TypeParagraph

Next J

 

End Sub
