Here are some tips from an About.com article on using the Yahoo email spell checker: Check the Spelling of Your Messages in Yahoo! Mail

Click Spelling in the message's toolbar.
- Yahoo! Mail will pick the most dominant language in your message automatically for spell checking. You can click the down arrow next to Spelling, though, and select a specific dictionary.
Click on the words underlined in red to get suggestions.
- To edit an underlined word, use the keyboard cursor keys to navigate the typing cursor into it.

Check the Spelling of Your Messages in Yahoo! Mail Classic

To check the spelling of a message in Yahoo! Mail Classic:

Select the Spell Check button in the top or bottom Yahoo! Mail Classic toolbar.

If Yahoo! Mail Classic detects a mistake, you can edit the offending word directly or get suggestions by selecting the button with the question mark directly following the entry field.

When your message is perfect, select Done and return to the message composition screen, of course retaining all the spell checker's changes.
