spell check red underscore doesn't work like PC??

Welcome. It's Mac.

You should still be able to right-click and a menu will pop up with a list of the suggested words.

 

It's the same -- you just have to know how to right click.

If you're...

1) Using a mouse with only one button and no scroll ball on it... press and hold the ctrl key and then click the mouse button to "right click."

2) Using a mouse with a scroll ball -- this is the Mighty Mouse. Just lift up your index finger and click the right half of the mouse with your second finger -- that's a right click. (1) also works though.

3) If you're using an older Mac laptop (iBook, Powerbook), you may have to do the same as (1) with the trackpad button.

4) If you're using a newer Mac laptop, you can also get a right click by tapping the trackpad with two fingers instead of one.

P.S. Please say "Mac" and not "MAC" ... MAC refers either to a cosmetics company or a media access control address.

 

1) It's Mac not MAC.

2) If I right click on a misspelt word in Word on my Mac it gives me suggestions for the correct spelling. You need to be more clear in your request for help: are you unable to right click (try holding control and clicking) or are there no suggestions?

 

1. Ctrl + Click if you have a one button mouse or trackpad
2. Right click on your multi-button mouse
3. Enable "Tap trackpad with two fingers for secondary click" if you have a trackpad

 

One thing ... it's a Mac, not a MAC, which is an acronym that stands for something completely different.

I'm running Word 2004 under Leopard, and right clicking on a mis-spelled word does, indeed, bring up a list of alternatives.

The only thing I can think of is that you haven't got the right-click enabled on the Mac's mouse, which you turn on as shown under System Preferences:



If that doesn't help, let me know and see if i can think of anything else ...

Cheers!
