Spell check without right click feature

[GB]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

Sorry to ask such a stupid question, but I am new to Apple microsoft word and I need some guidance. When you misspell a word, on a pc you can right click, you cannot do that with Apple. What is the way to do this, minus going to the tool bar and going through the whole process with spelling? I am sure hoping that there is an equivalent to the right click otherwise, I think I might have buyers remorse kicking in.
Please help.

Hi

You can configure right click. If you open System Preference from the Apple
Menu then Keyboard and Mouse in Hardware row you'll see that you can set
your mouse up there.

This panel is different Depending on which mouse you are using, however if
you have a two or more button mouse then it is most likely you can set up
right click.

Even if you don't configure the mouse to trigger the contextual menu from
the right button you'll find that holding down the control key on the Mac
brings up the contextual menu.

Best of luck

Hi GB,

If you have a 2-button mouse, then right-click will work the same as on a
PC. If not, you can control-click instead.
