Oops, I knew I shouldn't try to look at things with a headache. My
previous answers were correct (I meant to send them to the list), but
not complete -- there are other spelling related options like:
Change
Change All
Autocorrect
Options
(and Undo and Cancel)
I didn't test those. I did try fooooo. I typed it and then added it to
the dictionary. Then I added one more o. "fooooo" came up as one of
the suggested corrections.
Hope this helps,
Randy Kramer
