Hi, me again, Dyslexic Newbie

When I type I tend to be thinking ahead and looking at the keyboard at the same time, I can't type and look at the screen at the same time.

As I go along if I make a mistake I get the sound warning but by that time I'm two words in front and I have to scroll back to the word and manually correct it.
Some times I can get it to re-display the yellow alternatives box by going to the end of the word, sometimes not.
Is there an easier way other than doing a copy to clipboard check at the end?

Something like a hot key to take you back to the last mis-spelt word?

Not had chance to read the whole manual as the printer is playing up.

Hi John,

Here's a suggested way to use Spell Catcher while typing...

Just type as you normally do, when you hear an error sound make note of it but continue typing until you've gotten out what you want.

Then, when done typing, press and release the CTRL by itself once - this usually brings up Spell Catcher's Suggest Spelling dialog, which you can then use to correct all the outstanding typos...

Give that a try and let me know what you think.

Thanks for the question,

John,
Thanks for the quick return.
I tried what you posted and it works fine.
I can see this program becoming a valuable extra to my computer.

Just needs to learn more about shorthand glossaries.

John, seemed to be doing fine with the control key operation but I have had it fault out on a couple of occasions.
When I was typing this out:-

J&L do custom reamers off the shelf. You find the section on chucking reamers [ not got book in fromnt of me ] and then order by part number then size as a suffix somehing like AAA 234 804

It errored on J&L, fromnt, and somehing, just as you would expect but at the end when I hit Ctrl I got the spelling box up but it was empty. Tried again but still got the same empty box.
This happened on another reply as well. This is inside Firefox answering text box questions but the interactive checking is still working.
?

Hi John,

It sounds like you a bumping into the 25 word and expansion limit that is set in place for unlicensed users.

Only the first 25 words and expansions in a reference are used by Spell Catcher until it is licensed. If you want to create additional expansions you can put them in another glossary.

If this is interfering with your evaluation, e-mail me and I'll set you up with a license and let you try the new beta, which is coming out so soon.

Thanks,
