    Isn't it Control + Click, or the-weird-'%'-thing+Click?

    Tried that already none of it worked. it would just make the underline disappear and not giving me correct words to choose from.

    Need more info before this problem can be solved.
    What mouse are you using? Which version of OS X? What are the specs of the Mac you're on?

    I am using my wife's computer the iMac 3.06 Ghz with 4 gig ram wireless Apple Keyboard and mouse. We just bought it from Apple store a few days ago.

    3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4GB memory 800Mhz
    500GB hard drive1
    NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS with 512MB memory

    These are photos of our unpacking the iMac box but we only just picked up the new wireless keyboard and mouse from Apple store.

    ⌘+; will cycle through misspelled words in the active text box.

    Also, if you have a mighty mouse you need to make sure only one finger is on the mouse when you right click on the misspelled word. Its pressure sensitive and depending on where the mouse detects your finger will dictate what kind of click it is. Sometimes if you have two fingers resting on the mouse and try to right-click it won't register it has such.

    Alternatively, you can hold down control on the keyboard and then click to get the same action as a right click.

    Oh, sorry. Control+click on the misspelled word and it will give you a list of suggestions in the contextual menu.

    ⌘+shift+: will basically do the same thing.

    Shift+⌘+3 will take a picture of the whole desktop

    Shift+⌘+4 then space bar will allow you to take snapshots of individual windows, the menu bar, and the dock.

    You are aware that there is a right click on your mouse right? The Apple Mighty Mouse is touch sensitive, so there is no visible button.

    Just whack your finger on the place where the right click button is supposed to be, as you would on a normal mouse. You might want to check out System Prefs>Keyboard & Mouse or read the documentation that came with your Mighty Mouse.

    To take screenshots: Cmd+Shift+3 for a full screen screenshot, Cmd+Shif+4 and drag your mouse to screenshot a selection of your screen, Cmd+Shift+4 and press space to screenshot a window.
