Does this method still work with later versions?

Unfortunately (unless somebody else knows a shorter way) you need to tab to
the list, use your down arrow key to select the choice, and then press
Enter.

How do you get to the panel that allows you to edit the error manually?

Using the Spell Checker in Word 2013
By Curtis Chong
When I first began using Microsoft Word (in my case, this was Word 97) to
create and edit documents on the computer, I learned how to start the spell
checker in Word by pressing the F7 function key. I also quickly discovered
that if a spelling error was discovered in my document, I would be presented
with a number of choices to make:
* I could press ALT+a to add the offending word to the dictionary;
* I could press ALT+i to ignore the error;
* I could press ALT+g to ignore all of the errors involved with this
word; or
* I could press ALT+c if I wanted the suggested correction to replace
the word in error.
These so-called "accelerator keys" worked in every version of Microsoft Word
that I used until the advent of Microsoft Word 2013. Now, while running the
spell checker in Word 2013, if I press ALT+i to ignore what Word perceives
to be a spelling error, my screen reader says, "Press the accelerator key
only, without the Alt key in Office 2013 or later."
For a long time, I never really paid attention to this message. I assumed
that I could no longer use the Alt key combinations I had learned, and I
simply tabbed to the button I wanted to press. I don't know about you, but
as far as I am concerned, this was a real waste of time on my part (not to
mention a clear indication that sometimes, my cognitive faculties are not
what they should be).
If I had bothered to give proper attention to the message, " Press the
accelerator key only, without the Alt key in Office 2013 or later," I would
have realized that I do not have to tab to any of the buttons in the
spelling error dialog. Instead, I can do the following:
* press A to add the offending word to the dictionary;
* press I to ignore the error;
* press G to ignore all of the errors involved with the word;
* press C if I want the suggested correction to replace the word in
error; and
* press L if I want all occurrences of the flagged word to be changed
to the suggested correction.
If some of you who are reading this have already figured this out, then I
congratulate you on being far more perspicacious than me. If you haven't,
then try using the keys listed here, and see if this doesn't improve your
over-all productivity.
