Same here. And another note on installing the 64 bit version of Word is
that when I got it I assumed that the 64 bit version would be the one to
install on my 64 bit Win 7. To my surprise I discovered the opposite in
the installation notes. Even Microsoft recommended installing the 32 bit
version on 64 bit windows. They said something about you will see no
performance gain unless you're working with giant corporate data bases
or something like that. It was probably their way of saying: we know
it's buggy but don't want to tell you.

Tony,
Chris may be correct in your needing a reinstall. I have tested the Word
spell check with Word 2003 and 2010, and am having no issues.
Do you have the correct Office set files installed? That is very
important. Also, do you have the Word window maximized first? Also, very
important.
Finally, are you using the 64 bit version of Word (not windows, but
Word). If so, I've seen enough problem reports that I'd recommend
uninstalling it, and installing the 32 bit version (which will run just
as well). This is a MS issue, not window-eyes; MS has quite a long
article on the problems of using 64 bit office.

Hi All,
Well since the release of 7.5.2 things are worse than ever. I open
an email and W E just sits there and reads nothing. There is still a
problem with trying to edit a message that I’m composing in WLM.
Also, now if I’m on a webpage and hit enter on an email link when
the blank message comes up W E sees the To field as being empty..
However I did verify through a sighted person that indeed the
address was in the To field just that W E wouldn’t read it. Now
there is still the problem with spell check in word, which doesn’t
make sense because with JFW and Nvda it works just fine. Why do we
using W E have to do all these key strokes to use spell check when
it has always been as simple as tabbing once to the list of
suggestions and arrowing to the one of your choice and hitting
enter. It still works that way with the other two screen readers.
I’ve been a faitful W E user since 2003 and have recommended it to
many people. However now Im afraid that I can no longer do so
because of the frustration that it causes. Unless some real fixes
take place This will be the last version iof W E that I will be
using. It may be $300 cheaper that it's major competitor but lack of
ability to use it in an efficent manner out-weighs the cost.
