Re: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016
I have thus far had no trouble with spell check in Outlook or Word 2016, but when I was in Word XP it would sometimes switch to Spanish, not just for me but other coworkers. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of HICKS, Steven (ROYAL CORNWALL HOSPITALS NHS TRUST) Sent: Tuesday, June 5, 2018 11:16 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016 I Would be interested in others comments on this as well, I have reasonable success with the spellcheck in Outlook 2016 which I understand to be the same one as Word 2016 but it does jump between English US and UK and stops speech some times which is frustrating. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of wayne smith Sent: 05 June 2018 00:08 To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016 Hello all- I had the chance to try out a PC with Windows 10 and Ms Word 2016 and when I tried using the Spell Check feature, which used to be a simple task, it was a mess for me.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016
How odd, I have used Word since 97 and am now in Office 365 and spell check seems to work mostly the same from when I started using Word in 1998 until now, always great except it does not have medical words and since I am retired I have not updated the medical speller addition. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Jim Fettgather Sent: Tuesday, June 5, 2018 2:14 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016 This is very interesting.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016
This is good news because the earlier versions of Spell Check in 2016 did not work that way. They went bac to F7 andtabbing and that should be good news. I'll have to check it out.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016
Annette, As in previous versions, JAWS key+c still reads the spell-checked word in context when you're in Word 2016. However, when in an Outlook 2016 email, it doesn't. In that case, the "say line" command works. I'm having no problem getting spell-check to accept "c" on my system, and I'm not experiencing any delays involving JAWS and spell-checker. I have Windows 7, latest release of JAWS 2018 and, again, Office 2016. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of amca...@verizon.net Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2018 7:30 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016 Spell check in Word is a bit tempormental. As already stated, you cannot use the Alt key combination to change, ignore, etc, but it still works in Outlook. I find that when in Word just pressing the letter C for Change, etc. does not work. I then resort to Tabbing to the button I want and pressing Enter. Sometimes this does not work as there is a significant delay in getting a response to executing a command. I resort to pressing Escape and start over. Does anyone have an idea on how to get the spell check to read the word in context? I resort to exiting out of spell check, and navigating around the document or message until I find something that seems to be the word in question.

First, spell-checker does work in Word 2016, but it operates a little differently. For example, to accept a changed spelling, I press the letter "c" alone instead of alt-c. MS Word 2016 calls the alt key in this context an "accelerator." Second, you can stop Word from making corrections as you type. Press alt-f, then t, then arrow down to "proofing." From here, you tab through the options. I suggest tabbing through all of them to find out what they are before you start making changes. Note: Although Word on my system requires that I not use the alt key when using the spell-checker, spell-checker works as before when I'm in Outlook 2016. I have Outlook set to use Word when I write messages, so it's possible there are settings in Word that I haven't explored. But except for the alt key and some other variations, I find Word 2016's spell-checker works just fine. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of wayne smith Sent: Monday, June 04, 2018 7:08 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016 Hello all- I had the chance to try out a PC with Windows 10 and Ms Word 2016 and when I tried using the Spell Check feature, which used to be a simple task, it was a mess for me.
