I remember there was a keyboard shortcut for suggest spelling in Cocoa apps. I cannot find and remember which combination it was. Anyone?

but....... there's a dictionary / thesaurus built into TIger, so Pages / Keynote / any text field will have access to this i imagine, as we do with the spellcheck.

Yep, F5 does the same thing. That's shocking that it doesn't work in Pages though! I'm having trouble working out why they didn't keep to the cocoa text engine (or whatever) as in TextEdit - apparently Pages doesn't do nearly as good text smoothing as TextEdit either ... it's weird, unless they're working the new Pages one up to something better than that in TE.
Hmmm, can you use fonts like Symbol properly in Pages? TextEdit has that weird cocoa thing of displaying them as normal text....

NSTextView is very good where you want an NSTextView. For anything else (and please notice that what Pages does is way beyond what TextEdit does), it's not very good. To do what Pages does (with embedded tables and text boxes and the like) with NSTextView would require more work fighting Cocoa than it would take to just make your own text view.
I'd be very surprised if the text antialiasing is worse, though � it should be using the standard Quartz antialiasing. I can't imagine why they'd come up with their own drawing algorithm.
Oh, and you can use Symbol in TextEdit. One of the quirks of the Cocoa text engine is that it recognizes different scripts such as Japanese and Greek, and "Symbol" is one of them. If you try to use the Symbol font with another script, you won't get symbols.

Someone said that about the lesser smoothing in Pages in another thread a few days ago ... there was a screenshot too, but I can't find it now.
