Okay. Boy, that's a bit of trouble to go through. I mean, I don't mind
trying it instead of my sort of kamikaze method, and I also suppose that if
I were using the computer sighted and this just involved a few quick glances
and mouse clicks, I'd think it was no big deal. but all those keystrokes and
tab key presses and so forth. But I'm just complaining. It's not very often
I need to do something like this, so it wouldn't kill me to go to the bother
now and then. Okay. Thanks again for explaining that you need to activate
that control with the spacebar. I didn't think of that.
And good luck with the problem you've been having. Sorry I couldn't have
helped, but it sounded mystifying and unfamiliar to me.

All it does is reset the spell check. You have to go back and start it by
pressing F 7.
