     Hi Grant, where have you been all of this time?  

Vocaleyes, does not have any built-in macros like jaws does.  They
claim you don't need them.  However, I have been looking through
the docs, and I think that they could sure use them.  They have a
lot of pull down menus and by the time you pull down a menu, and
another one, and make a choice, I wish they did use macros like
jaws does.  They would certainly make getting through those menus,
and making choices a lot easier and faster.

Grant, did you load in the wp5.jcf file?  I am not using
wordperfect 5, but I am using wordperfect 4.2, and I don't have any
problem with jaws pointing out the mispelled word to me.  You press
control-numpad5, and it will put the jaws cursor on the mispelled
word, and then you press control-down arrow key, and it will put
the jaws cursor on the first word choice.

     Hope this will help you.

               Walter
