Joan Ann,
I have managed a sort of work around for this.
If you use F7 to launch the Spellchecker I find that the screen reader (NVDA
in my case!) does not follow the changes. However, pressing “I” and “C” do
work even though you cannot confirm it there and then. If you press alt+F7
you also get the spellchecker but this time it is more visible to the screen
reader and the keys do respond.
If all else fails, the following macro is supposed to help:
Sub SpellCheck()
On Error GoTo errhdl
Dialogs(wdDialogToolsSpellingAndGrammar).Execute
Exit Sub
errhdl:
If Err.Number <> 4198 Then
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & vbCr & Err.Description
End If
End Sub

As you can see, it is from a developer called J. Freedman.
Let me know if any of this is useful.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Subject: [vip_students] Using spell check in Word
Hi all
I am using Microsoft Office 2013 with Jaws version 18. I have written up a
document in Word and want to run a spell check on it. When I press f7 I get
into the spell check dialog box. It appears very sluggish and for each
suggestion I get a grammatical explanation and I have to press escape. I then
press I to ignore something but it doesn’t seem to move on to the next
suggestion. Anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks for any help
Joan Ann.
