Hi Anne - I was having problems selecting a single word, or couple of words to delete from the middle of a sentence. Yes, I could delete them character by character, but wanted to be able to simply select the whole word, or several words, and delete them. What was happening was that when I held down the shift key and used the arrow keys to select, I was getting more text than I wanted, selected for deletion.
As for using CMD Semicolon for spell checking, all that this seems to do for me, is to remove the misspelled word from the text. Clearly I'm doing something wrong with this method of spell checking. I don't get to see a word list of possible replacements, and I have tried hitting both return and tab, but get the same result, namely the misspelled word is removed. At least using CMD and shift with Semicolon, I do see some familiar options, such as skip and learn word [which is the same as the Windows add to dictionary option] as well as a word list. Unfortunately, this way doesn't seem to allow for skipping through the mistakes and correcting them one after another, it appears you have to come out of the spell checking, and go in to it again with the next mistake - Andy > Hello Andy, > > Once text is selected, pressing Delete will delete all the selected text.
