Microsoft word for mac not spell checking. Just a tip, if you’d like to make JRE 1.6 the default after you install it, then you will probably want to get the script discussed on this forum post: Here is a modified version of the code to work with the 1.6 JRE instead of JDK, name the file changeJRE.sh and make sure you ‘chmod +x changeJRE.sh’ before trying to execute the script.
