I have been studying the support offered in Thunder for working in MS 
Word, and I am quite impressed by what has been included.  

However the following paragraph in the Manual puzzles me -  


"Checking your spelling has been made very easy when you use Thunder. 
Place the cursor at the start of your document. Press Caps Lock N to take 
you to the next error word. Then press either the right mouse click key, 
NKP Minus, or the Application Key, which is just to the left of the right 
Control key. A list of suggestions and choices appears and you cursor down 
and press ENTER on the choice you want to make. Finally, Press Caps 
Lock N again to move on to the next error word. You will be told when there 
are no more error words."

It certainly finds the mis-spelled word, but so far I have failed to get the 
right click action to do what it says.  It simply opens the context menu of the 
word with the usual options for Synonyms, etc.

I wonder whether someone else could try this and see whether they agree.  
Perhaps I am missing something or it is an oddity of this machine.   

Spell checking via f7 and the normal dialogue is OK, but a beginner might 
wish to try the alternative.

Many thanks,


Douglas
