Hello,
Hope you don't mind me jumping in here.
This is how I do spellchecking in both Mail and TextEdit or any
other word processor for that matter.
These instructions are using the full apple keyboard.
1. Command Semicolon, to here the first misspelled word.
2. VO F2 twice and arrow down to spellchecker window and press
enter.
3. Tab between the available words and press enter. Note, VO W
works just fine for reading the currently available choice before
you press enter. And you can always press VO W twice for the
correct spelling of the choice, or 3 times for the phonetic
spelling.
4. each time you press enter, you will be taken to the next
misspelled word. If you are at the end of the list of misspelled
words, the computer will make the bonk noise and you then press
Escape to get back to your document. If at any time you want to
get back to the document without further spellchecking, just press
escape.
This works in all places where you want to spellcheck. I've never
had any problems with this method.
Now, let me say one other little thing regarding cursor tracking.
I have all of the cursor tracking items checked.

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.

try command-colon and turn off the ruller.

Hi, Chris:
I get similar behaviors here; however, I have absolutely no
problem using Mail's spell check, and like you, have it set to
auto-check before sending. 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.
