If she uses Tools>Spelling and Grammar (or clicks on the Spelling button on the toolbar) Writer will iterate across the spelling mistakes it has identified. For each "mistake" it offers a list of suggestions (as you point out) but it also offers an "Add" button. If she chooses to add the word, she can then Resume the iteration. Just above the Add button are "Ignore all" and "Ignore once" buttons which do the obvious and then automatically proceed to the next "mistake". > 2)Can she be taken directly to the line in question?
