I've always used keyboard combinations such as Alt+G (ignore), Alt+A (add to dictionary) etc. in the spell checker from previous versions of Word.
I've now upgraded to Word 2013 and find that the spell checker has been shifted into a task pane of its own. I can invoke a spell check with F7, as I always have in the past. But from that point on, I seem to have to use the mouse to work with the spell checker.
(Certain letters on the spell checker buttons are underlined, implying that a keyboard shortcut is available, but Alt+letter doesn't work - if I'm lucky I'll get an error "ping" but that's all.)
I don't like having to use the mouse to work the spell checker, as it means a lot more eye travel around the screen. Can anyone explain to me how to use keyboard shortcuts with it?
Thanks in advance!
To avoid the error message, replace the macro with this more complicated one:
Sub SpellCheck()
On Error GoTo errhdl
Dialogs(wdDialogToolsSpellingAndGrammar).Execute
Exit Sub
errhdl:
If Err.Number <> 4198 Then
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & vbCr & Err.Description
End If
End Sub
