Thanks for the tip Anna,
I find the fastest way to check a single word for spelling is to highlight
the whole word and hit F7. When you have just one word highlighted like that
word will only check that word. It will then ask you if you want to check
the rest of the document just escape.

Subject: [VICUG-L] Spell Checking in word
Hi all,
Albert's message about the application key and paragraph formatting reminded
me of something I discovered relatively recently.
If you type a word in word and aren't sure if you spelled it correctly, you
can move the cursor to one of the characters in the word and press the
application key. If the word is spelled correctly, you hear the usual items
(e.g., cut, copy), but if the word is misspelled, pressing the application
key displays suggestions, which you can down-arrow through and press enter
on. If Word is stumped, then you hear options like Ignore.
I'm pointing this out because I've been using Word since the '90's, but I
only discovered this by accident a couple of years ago. It works on word
2010 and 2013. I assume it works in other versions as well.
Btw, yes, you can set the default paragraph style by pressing the
application key, then press enter on Paragraph. After you set your values,
tab to and press enter on Set As Default, and make sure you choose the
option for All Documents Based on the Normal Template.
ciao
