Spell Check/Auto-Correct in Mail

Question

Spell Check/Auto-Correct in Mail

Is there a way for Mail to suggest/auto-correct typos such as: cant, dont, wont, itll, etc? All it does is show them as an error and doesnt give correct suggestions. This also happens in other programs, but it seems you can add custom auto-correct items into Pages.

Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

Hello Neighborhood Office,

No, not without the help of additional software or plug-ins for your Mac. Just Google for "mac mail autocorrect" and you should receive a plethora of results that could assist you. Several users use what is called [TypeIt4Me|http://www.ettoresoftware.com/products/typeit4me> to add this functionality to their entire system.

Another possibility, although quite expensive is [Spell Catcher X|http://www.rainmakerinc.com>

You don't need additional software.

Go to Mail Preferences/Composing and there will be a choice of spell check options there.
