Hi Mark and all,I found a way to spell check in Text Edit, but it's a bit tedious. What I do is press command semicolon. The first misspelled word is highlighted. I press VO shift M, which brings up a menu of suggested spelling replacements. I down arrow to the correct one and press enter. I then start the process over, i.e. press command semicolon, the next misspelled word is highlighted, VO shift M, choose the correct word, press return... and so on and so on! <grin>
I haven't found a way to get VO to spell the suggested replacements, but I have my PacMate Braille display connected, so can use that to check for the correct suggestion.

I have a larger document that I tried to spell- check with TextEdit, and expected the behaviors to be similar to spell-check in Mail. However, I found that no matter what I tried-- Command Accent, VO shift F2 twice for window chooser, even command- tab into and out of the window, that I couldn't get VO to focus on the spell-check window I've come to know and love. It would land me on a word it didn't recognize, but there were no specific controls that VO would read, as it should. VO navigation only showed me the ruler or the whole document, not a specific spell- check window. I'm puzzled at the moment.Mark BurningHawk Baxter Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 MSN: BurningHawk1969@xxxxxxxxxxx My home page: http://MarkBurningHawk.net/Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxwith 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Webinterface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxwith 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Webinterface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverTake good care and I wish you enough.
