Use Quick Keys in Word to navigate through your spelling errors.
These are the JAWS commands:
1. When in a Word document, press INSERT+Z to toggle Quick Keys on. This enables you to navigate to specific elements using letters on the keyboard without typing these letters into your document.
2. Press M to navigate forward through the misspelled words one at a time. Focus will be on the first letter of the word. JAWS reads the misspelled word and the sentence containing it.
3. Press SHIFT+M to navigate backward through the misspelled words.
4. When on a misspelled word, use the Windows commands SHIFT+F10 or the APPLICATIONS KEY to open a context menu.
Press DOWN ARROW to navigate through suggestions.
Press ENTER on a suggestion to select it and correct the misspelling.
5. Alternatively, use the Windows command ALT+F7 for a list of suggestions, then press ENTER on one to select it.
When you press one of these keyboard commands, Quick Keys will automatically toggle off.
Press INSERT+Z to toggle them on and continue navigating using M and SHIFT+M.
The Power of JAWS!
