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?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Nicole and JAWS the misbehaving shark<o:p></o:p></span></p>
