Sometimes the Spelling dialogue is not automatically in focus.

Re: viewing suggestions in spell checker
This is another reason I am so happy I joined this list. Donna asked a similar question which I was thinking of asking too. Anna offered a wrinkle/suggestion which I already played with and found to be easier for me and Brett helped explained the spell checker a bit better to help me make sense of it. One quick question. Is there a command while in spell checker if one wishes to read the line or sentence in which the misspelled word appears...without getting out of spell checker?

Re: viewing suggestions in spell checker
I apologize if this is common knowledge. I just thought I'd mention that I like to use the command, shift, semi colin. This brings up a full dialogue that works quickly for me. VO will highlight the first misspelled word and you VO down arrow twice to see the suggestions table. Hit enter on the desired suggestion. I've experienced that sometimes the suggestions table has the word ready to hit enter on, and other times I have to interact with the table. Exploring the spell check dialogue, one will find ignore and learn. The learn button will add your chosen spelling to the dictionary. You can hit escape anytime to exit spell check. If you are presented with a misspelled word that you're unsure of, hitting escape will land the VO cursor at that word in your document., so you can edit from that point. This spell check feature is available most anywhere there is an edit box, Text Edit, Mail, Safari etc. Nothing new here, just thought I'd elaborate in case someone reading this is new to the feature.

Re: viewing suggestions in spell checker
HI Donna, For one brief shining moment, just before Snow Leopard, I could press Command-Semicolon, then VO-Shift-M in just about any program and get a list of misspelled words. It was great. but with Snow Leopard, pressing VO-Shift-M doesn't work in most places anymore. That means the only way to see suggestions, as far as I know, is through the spell check dialog accessed with Command-Colon. The suggestions are in a table, so you can move to them with VO-Command-T.

Re: viewing suggestions in spell checker
Hi, Command-colon shows you the suggestions and grammar dialog. That's the way I do it. Yep, the other way that someone suggested only brings up the standard menu here as well. Command-semicolon is to highlight a word that is misspelled. It might take a little longer, but it works. I couldn't get the other one down.

viewing suggestions in spell checker
Hi all, I feel like I'm daft or something. But when in a message, after selecting a misspelled word with Command Colon, how do I view the list of suggestions? I thought someone said VO-M, but this just brings up the standard menus.
