Spell Check?

[Christopher J Beck -]

When writting on the computer I use spell check. But while writting on the forum I can't seem to find it. I like to be as proper as possible when writting to others. This question is for you tech support. If this feature is not available can it be offered. Or is it back to a dictionary. I have a compaq intel celeron processor.

IDEA #1:
Start up another web browser and go to www.spellcheck.net . They have an excellent page their to copy and paste anything into, and correct the spelling.

IDEA #2:
Do you have MS Word? That's what I use in a separate window before SUBMITTING my forum posts. I write my message in the Reply/Message Box, then right click to select all, then copy, paste into Word for spell check, and then copy/past back to the forum box.

There is a spell check feature being developed, but won't be soon until next year.

You can also use the PREVIEW REPLY feature too, to catch any typos.

Catching typos and spellchecking, and in Word, also grammar checking, are two different birds.

I also use Word. I didn't at the beginning and I got a pleasant, but embarassing (to me), comment. So now I try to always.

Except with three line posts.

Thanks for the information I feel much more confident in my spelling at least with the "copy & paste" technique.

Personally I use the cut and paste method with MS Word..
works for me

Dave:

Cut and paste from MS Word, or other program, also has the advantage of staying around if one gets disconnected from one's server before posting a reply. Something of definate advantage with long or difficult replies, and a michevious server!

Thanks for the website.....I know a few people that will get good use of it. :rolleyes:

For the most part I am a good speller, but sometimes even I make mistakes. Microsoft Word does a great job identifying mispelled words and improper grammer that you've missed. I also think that if you read what you just wrote "out loud," you are more likely to find mistakes and find out exactly how your sentence sounds when read by others. :cool:
