[X4U] Spell Check

[Tommy Bollman]

Hello

I'm sorry for being a little bit late with this reply .... I think I got Excalibur with OpenOffice. And maybe that spellchecking suits you better.
You can even make it override the default spellchecker (Apple's) within BBEdit and TextWrangler (Free and great!!) through "secret default values" explained in the manual.

That latter feature, the suggestions is a key for me because I often don't know how to spell the word correctly.  I have terrible spelling because I'm dyslexic.  I recently bought an iMac and have found that the Mac OS has a spell checker built-in, but it doesn't offer any suggestions.  Whenever I control-click a flagged word, it just says "no  guesses found."  Is that how it is supposed to work or can this be fixed?
