I know W-E gave us its own way to check spelling, but I've used the alt-f7
method for spellchecking for years in Window-Eyes. Just to play with JAWS
and my Office 2010, I tried the old f7 way. JAWS does a nice job, saying
and then spelling the incorrect word, then doing the same for what it
suggests as the preferred replacement. The only thing I had to remember is
that enter is for ignore, not change. LOL. If you don't like the suggested
replacement, tab once to a list box with all the suggestions. You can arrow
down through them and JAWS says and spells each. If you continue to tab
through, you will find a grammar box which you can uncheck if you choose.
JAWS continues to find misspellings automatically without your having to
press f7 again.
My hands just automatically press alt-f7. If you want to check the
spelling of the suggestion, which JAWS does not give you with this method,
just press insert numpad 5 twice.
For any other misspellings you'll need to press the alt-f7 again each time
as you do with the alt-apostrophe in W-E. .

Hmm. I haven't had any problems with Window-Eyes. And I'm running the latest
fall creators update. That's why I have little incentive to figure out JAWS.
Actually I've spent more time with NVDA. I don't think either are on par
with Window-Eyes. But if I can get the freebie working I'll go that route.
Good luck,
Tom

Thanks, Tom. Not as friendly on the fingers and it seems to automatically
expand the context menu before I even know what word is highlighted, but I'm
glad to have an option to play with. Yeah, I've been pokey about the
migration process, but I keep having weird silencing issues in Window Eyes,
so I'm really trying to get myself onto JAWS.

Robin,
I don't know about JAWS as I've barely gotten beyond wrestling with it for
a bit here and there. But Word itself has a keyboard shortcut to jump to the
next spelling or grammatical error: Alt+F7.
Here's a link to a page with all the keyboard shortcuts.

Hth,

All,
I'm struggling with the transition to JAWS as it relates to spell
checking a Word document or Outlook email. I absolutely loved the Window
Eyes feature allowing me to move to each error with Alt semicolon and
apostrophe. I really did not get the hang of navigating the Spell checking
dialog efficiently. So, to those who have made the transition, can you
guide me as to the best way to spell check? I'm in Office 2010.
