There are at least two ways to spell check on the Mac.

1.  Focus on a misspelled workd and then press open the short cut menu by 
pressing VO+shift+m.  Now, sugestions will be offered for correction.

2.  My personally favorite way is that any time I want to spell check, I press 
Cmd+colon.  This opens up a dialog similar to what you were talking about with 
F7.  The first misspelled word is highlighted,  Now, if you have Voice OVer set 
to automatically interact with the tab key as I do, you just tab over to the 
table list of sugestions for corrections.  Now, to actually make Voice Over 
spell a suggestion, use Cmd+w twice.
