Word tip: Spell Checking From the Keyboard

Source:http://wordtips.vitalnews.com/PrintPages/T0838P.html Spell Checking From the Keyboard You may already know that you can right-click on a misspelled word and the resulting Context menu will display suggested corrections for your error. You may not want to use the mouse to activate this feature, however. You might not want to take your hands off the keyboard, which can slow down your editing. If you are of this ilk, there are two major ways you can display the Context menu for the misspelled word. In both instances, you must make sure the insertion point is somewhere in the misspelled word, then you can do either of the following: If you have one of the 104-key Windows keyboards, press the "right-click key." This is the key next to the right CTRL key. Press SHIFT+F10. Either of these methods will result in the Context menu being displayed. You can then use the arrow keys to select a suggested spelling correction. Pressing Enter then makes the correction. If you don't see a suggestion you like, pressing the ESC key dismisses the Context menu. Another possible solution is to simply place the insertion point someplace before the misspelled word, and then press ALT+F7. This automatically selects the next misspelled word in the document and displays the Context menu with suggested alternatives ------------------ Want more direct clients? join my yahoo group.
