Spell Checking and Page Numbers

spell something wrong and it will underline in red. Right click the misspelled word, and you will get a few suggestions on the correct spelling. I know this because I am a very poor speller.

That is if you use Firefox. IE doesn’t do that.

Didn’t realize Firefox did that. Another reason to use it more often.

That’s cool for FF users. I don’t really have a choice because I use company assets and time to ….
oooops… I mean I prefer to use IE. Yeah, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I mean if we go down the road of letting the browser check the spelling of anything within its “walls”, then pretty soon Windows will be doing the same thing instead of letting each application do its own spell checking. That’s crazy talk. Right?

Your question got me wondering, so I did a quick Google and came up with a little freeware program to check spelling in IE.

http://www.iespell.com/

It doesn’t automatically highlight misspelled words, but you can right click and click on “check spelling” when you finish typing your comments. I downloaded and installed in about 2 minutes.

Charlie’s suggestion is a pretty good one. I ewes it and it worx vry whale. :-)

Tim must have the special “Georgia” version. :-)

I appreciate that Charlie but I’m stuck again with those IE disciplinarians that don’t want anything cool on my computer. It also made me think that some kind of verification that it doesn’t do anything sneaky or malicious behind the scenes would be a good idea before actually installing a new program. I trust your recommendation but I heard a few other guys talking and, well you know.

I understand the workplace constraints.

As far as the danger of installing shareware or freeware, I won’t install anything unless it is on one of the major download sites like CNET, and has already been downloaded by thousands of people. In this case, there are over a million downloads, so I feel pretty safe.

OutPutter, do you have MS Word on your computer? I Use FF but I use MS Word to edit my posts before posting them. Just copy and paste.

seems typos are the biggest culprit, but that’s my best excuse

-- Ciao, gth.

What spell check do you want Jim, English or American. LOL

I really didn’t know Firefox did that. I just learned something new.

-- Berta in NC

I have Word but I’m way to lazy to copy and paste everything I type. LOL.

I’d need a Texan version spell checker anyway…

Thanks for all the great ideas ya’ll.

IE7Pro rocks! It gives your spell check and much more.
