Leonard, If your focus is on a misspelled word, you can use either Shift + F10 or Alt + F7 to check just that word.
Shift + F10 is the keyboard equivalent of a right mouse click, and has been around for a long time. Newer keyboards have the Applications key so that you don't have to remember Shift + F10 except in some situations like yours! Alt + F7 is a little different. It brings up the same menu, but if you press Escape to leave this menu the whole word will be selected. That's not too much or a problem, as you can just press RightArrow to de-select it and move to the end of it. Also note that if you press Alt + F7 when your focus is not on a misspelled word, focus will jump to the nearest misspelled word and give you the menu. I remember getting very confused because sometimes it jumped forward, sometimes backward, and I could never pin down exactly what made it go in one direction or the other! But I have know people to spell check the whole of a document with this keystroke because they just couldn't get on with the F7 dialogue.

Unlike my desktop I do not have a windows key next to the alt key on the right side which can be used to spellcheck only one word instead of the entire document. How can I spellcheck just one word on my laptop. The windows key on the left of the alt key on the laptop brings up the start menu.
