I like to use keyboard shortcut as much as possible to save my carpal-tunnelled mousing hand some work, so I was very frustrated not to be able to find the shortcut keys for the Microsoft Office 2004 spell check dialog anywhere in Word Help or on the net.
I had a hunch that the Microsoft programmers would take the easy way out, and have them be the same as on the Windows version. So I searched for an image of the Windows spell check dialog with the shortcut keys underlined. This image showed me the following shortcuts:
I tried every alphabetical character for a one-key (or two if you count the Command) shortcut for Change, but couldn't find one. If someone figures that out, please post in the comments! I haven't tested this in Office 2008, but assume it is similar.
[robg adds: These seem to work fine in Excel as well. I did a quick test with Word and Excel 2008, and they also work there.]

- Ignore is Command-I or Return
- Ignore All is Command-G
- Add is Command-A
- Change All is Command-L
- Auto Correct is Command-R
- Options... is Command-O
- Undo is Command-U
- Check Grammar (check box toggle) is Command-K
