I'm not sure this dog was there, but I had to post it anyway, because it's so unbelievably well, ugly:
dog
But damn, he's ugly.
So, Lizzie, how do you do, does?
opinions, 'ugly' is not a term suitable to characterize fuzzy animals. It is more aptly applied to humans, in some cases 'to the bone'.

If you have the automatic correct on in Word, you won't need to press any buttons to spell-check since the system will underline spelling errors you may have made.
That way, you'll still only have the two key-strokes (one for copy and one for paste) and you can spell out Elizabeth's name in its entirety.
Ta-dah!!! Problem solved. [Waving to the crowd-e]
formerly known as etaoin...
1. Highlight your follow-up
2. Click Edit
3. Click Copy
4. Access Word (one keystroke min)
5. Click “Paste”
6. Click "Tools"
7. Click “go further down” symbol
8. Click “Spelling and Grammar”. Note highlighting of “dah” in “ta-dah”
9. Click on “ignore”
10. Note highlighting of “key-strokes”. Spend the next ten minutes attempting to decide what’s wrong with it. Concluding there aren’t any errors, click “Ignore”
11. Click on “Edit”
12. Click on “Select all”
13. Click on “Copy”
14. Access WS (min 1 keystroke)
15. Scroll to window at bottom
16. Click in window
17. Rightclick for dropdown
18. Click on “Paste”
Ta-dah, 18 keystrokes, sme number Bill Gates requires you to restore spellcheck in Micorosft Word
Actually, the above list is somewht simplified because I asumed a) no errors and b) that you feel no compunction to edit out any excess foofarah that Bill Gates had inserted in the process of copying, correcting, and pasting
eta: Two, as you have to Stop afterward. Same as I used to do before Bill increased it to six

You will have to press the "reply" button in the board, but you have to do that whether you type directly here or if you copy/paste.
I'm not quite sure what all the other steps you have are. The way my Word programme is set up, it automatically underlines any word that is mis-spelled in red and anything it thinks is gramatically incorrect in green. You have the choice of changing it or not...no button pressing required.
Or
You can throw caution to the wind, type directly, and if you miss any spelling errors, well, tough noogies, nitpickers be damn, cause will it really matter when we're all dead and gone.
***bel, thank you for the suggestion, which however still involves a whole lot of extra folderol compared to Google's "Check". By the way, in the meantime I discovered how to restore the original "Check", obviating the need for splitting your screen and all the additional keystrokes that entails:
***What had happened, at the urging of Bill Gates Google had stuffed it into a catchall in order to make life just a little more difficult by requiring three keystrokes just to activate it. What you have to do, is make more room at the top by providing yourself an additional toolbar, whereupon the original one-click "Check" function comes back
***Of course bel you knew that but the trick might conceivably prove useful to some old codger like me on the brink of senility, who is also overwhelmed by the digital world. Anyone wishing to discuss further such matters, I am dalehileman@verizon.net and don't care who knows it
You will have to press the "reply" button in the board, but you have to do that whether you type directly here or if you copy/paste.
***bel, thank you also for that tip, but I knew about it and don't like it very well. When you click on "Reply" all the foregoing followups disappear, becoming unavailable for reference whilst composing one's own. Bill's minions spent an entire month thinking up this single frustration
I'm not quite sure what all the other steps you have are.
***I have to sheepishly admit that I had expanded a couple of the operations into additional steps, in order to show how tedious the entire process can be if you don't know all the rules
The way my Word programme is set up, it automatically underlines any word that is misspelled in red and anything it thinks is grammatically incorrect in green. You have the choice of changing it or not...no button pressing required.
***Yes, I knew about it and have used it extensively for years. Incidentally the novice may be interested to learn that after his file has reached a certain length, at regular intervals when Bill decides you have made too many mistakes, he petulantly withdraws the function, deleting all the wiggly lines where he had detected an "error"
***Much to Bill's chagrin, I have learned how to restore them, through a routine requiring, however, 18 keystrokes. Subsequently I recorded a macro for the purpose, and would be happy to share it with anyone experiencing the same difficulty. Contact me
Or
You can throw caution to the wind, type directly, and if you miss any spelling errors, well, tough noogies, nitpickers be damn, cause will it really matter when we're all dead and gone.
***Bel, a most profound observation indeed. I have maintained for the longest time that life is not so serious as one might assume from the outpourings of mutual hostility characteristic of so many boards
***Incidentally, for the novice who doesn't comprehend all the intricacies, if Bill thinks you are taking too long whilst composing a followup, he will gratuitously and without warning delete your entire composition. I can just picture him leaning back in his richly upholstered armchair, laughing uproariously
***Again, for the novice, it thus becomes necessary every so often (say, after each paragraph) to highlight and Copy your entire followup. Another approach I often use is simply to Submit it at regular intervals, performing an Edit whenever you wish to continue or to make a correction
***I trust at least some of this will be of use to the beginner
