[NFBCS] JAWS Keeps Locking Up with Spellcheck before Send in Outlook

[Curtis Chong]

Nicole:

 

I do not typically punch F7 to invoke spell check in an email I am about to
send, nor do I hve Outlook spell check automatically before sending. Here
are my suggestions:

 

1.	Do not spell check automatically before sending.
2.	To determine if you have an error in your email before sending, try
using the ALT+SHIFT+L JAWS command. If JAWS says you don't have a spelling
error, you're good to send. If you do have an error, JAWS brings up a list
of the spelling errors, and you can press Enter on the word you want to fix.

 

HTH.

 

Kind regards,

 

Curtis Chong

            I have Outlook 2019 on Windows 10 64 bit with the latest version
of JAWS. I have Outlook set to spellcheck before sending. Sometimes, it
works fine, but, more and more often, if there is a spelling error, JAWS
stops talking when in the window with the spellchecking-going to the desktop
or somewhere else restores speech. Repeatedly pressing escape to exit the
spellchecker fixes the problem, but I then often have to run spellchecker
before pressing send rather than letting run after pressing send. Has anyone
else experienced this?
