Microsoft significantly changed the interface of the spell checker in Word 2013. NVDA doesn't implement shortcut keys for controls. These are implemented by the application, so any change is just how things work in the new interface.

I'm changing this ticket to just cover the announcement of the error.
Changes:
Changed title from "MSWord 2013 spell check dialog is not as usable as it was in previous versions." to "MSWord 2013: Report mispelled word in Spell Check"

Replying to jteh:
Hi,

In NVDA 2015.1 the misspelled word is now announced in Word according to the release notes. However, it does not work for me in Word 2013. Is this still being worked on?

Thank you.

This probably could have been clearer, but #1938 only fixed an issue with the spell check dialog in Word 2003-2010; it did not affect Word 2013. Word 2013 doesn't use a dialog for spell check any more; it's a completely new interface which is more like a toolbar. NVDA doesn't have specific support for this yet.

Can't anything be done in this regard?

When addressing this, consider the requests in #3482.

@feerrenrut could you please test if you are able to access the missspelled word as well as the suggestions in Word 2013 without any errors? I am testing with NVDA alpha-17205,93ccd518 and Word 2016 / 365. I cannot reproduce any error as stated in this issue. In my view the dialog is very accessible. You can walk with tab and shift+tab as well as arow keys in suggestions list and also in the sentence edit field. You can access every button etc.
The only thing is that Microsoft does not provide any shortcuts for this dialog. at least for english, you should be abled to use the underlined letter of the buttons as shortcuts, without pressing alt key. But this does not work in every word version.
If the error is not reproducible, i suggest to close this issue as works for me.

I can still reproduce this in Word 2013 and NVDA 2019.1.1. I have updated the initial description to clarify the issue.

Hello,
I am using office 16 with NVDA 2020.1 it is still not reading the miss spelt words.
