Hi Alex, Thanks for letting me know about spell check, I had a look in the edit menu of pages and saw an option under spelling and grammar that said check spelling while typing, and another that said, correct spelling while typing. I unchecked both of those so will see what happens when I do more writing tonight. :) Thanks again for your much appreciated responses. :) Hope you have a great day, Andrew On 18 Apr 2014, at 8:21 am, Alex Hall <mehg...@icloud.com> wrote:
