Hi there! So if I remember OK you can also open VO+shift+m before finishing your spell check and choose to hide spell check and you should be back in the unsent messagee I wrote something wrong in this message and hope to check this out when I send it! *smile* so when this message turns up and in my part one of the words Message is still miss spelt then my memory was wrong! But if the message word is correct then I was able to stop spell check and correct it then send again! So here goes! Colin
