Steve,
Look, I'm using a current version of OE, not an "old" one, whichever you're
thinking of. I don't tab to anything. the spell check says blah blah, and
I just behave as if I'm right on top of those words, which I am. I don't
mean the suggested correction, I mean the first moment when OE tells you
what it thinks is your error. That's when you start editing,. You don't go
to the list of suggested corrections.
Is this clearer? Just type that run-together word couplet together again,
select it, hit F7, and as soon as OE says the incorrect word, just try
editing. don't press tab or anything at all. Then of course, either press
Control C to make the change take effect or hit enter.
I'm really puzzled. I'm sure you're misunderstanding or I'm describing
something wrong.

hellodan. It doesn't work. I typed hellodan instead of hello Dan. I had to
tab to get to the "not in dictionary hellodan" and I hit the space after the
"o" and it wouldn't take it. I guess we can't do it that way but I seem to
remember we use to be able to do this in older versions of outlook express.
