Hi Bill, Check in Mail > Preferences > Composing - Check Spelling 'As I Type' If Lion Mail Preferences are different, follow below information:
Turn off the auto-correct feature in Apple Mail, and let the spell-checker retain the ability to point out an error as you type, but not to auto-correct it. Launch Apple Mail. Open a new message window. The text insertion point needs to be in an editable area of the message, so click in the body of the message. Click Mail's Edit menu and let your cursor hover over the Spelling and Grammar item (but don't click). This will reveal a sub-menu with various options. Options that are enabled will have check marks next to them. Selecting an item from the menu will toggle the check mark on or off, depending on its current state. To turn off auto-correction, remove the check mark next to 'Correct Spelling Automatically'. To allow the spelling checker to warn you of errors, enable a check mark next to 'Check Spelling, While Typing'. <http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3965> Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt" 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) On 31 Jan 2014, at 12:11 pm, Bill Parker <ren...@westnet.com.au> wrote: > Folks, > > I am on a Macbook Pro OS 10.7.5 > > Mac Mail seems to be autocorrecting my typing.
