Thanks Tim, I thought I’d give your suggestion a go even before you replied. I wondered what would happen if I did VO shift M for the contextual menu and now I know. However the Mac already learned the spelling on that word as I typed it and it didn’t come up with any corrections this time. But at least I know for next time. Thanks again, Petrus
