Thanks all, cmd : does work. so that’s something at least. I preferred cmd ;, but spell checking is spell checking at the end of the day. So I’m just happy I can spell check in any way. Jürgen your way didn’t work, all it did was to start reading the document, which to my understanding is what

Hi Cary, of course it says check document now because that’s what it does. But because VO doesn’t read the highlighted text it seems to you nothing happened. Press VO + F6 after the announcement checking document now and you will hear the highlighted misspelled word. Open context menu and check
