To attach a file to an e-mail, press command plus A plus shift. You will be presented with a dialogue. You now have to use voiceover keys with right and left arrows to go through the dialogue box and make choices. It's not easy at first if you haven't done it before. It would help if you had some idea where the file you want to attach is located. Most often your documents will be located in your home folder which - unless you changed the name - will be your name. In the attach file dialogue box you have a pop-up button which you press to choose folders within your home folder. Once you have located the folder, as soon as your cursor is on its name, the content of the folder is displayed in the box next door. Voice over to the table and look for your file. You may want to choose list layout of the folders to help you while you are gaining experience. You can toggle between list view, column view or icon view on the fly by using command + 1 or 2 or 3. Once you have found your file, voiceover to choose file button and press it. Your file should be then attached to your e-mail which you have opened and composed. Hope this will help.

As for spell checking in text edit, I have no experience of it yet. I haven't had the time to explore it, having been a mac user for only a couple of months.

With best wishes

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for all these questions! :)
I would really appreciate knowing how to use the spellcheck feature of text edit. For instance, is there a way to have the program suggest words like there is in microsoft word? Also, how do I atatch files to email messages? I haven't figured out how to find a single file and atatch it to a message though I can apparently atatch my whole documents folder. Thanks so much and again sorry for bombarding you with basic questions!
Olivia
