Spelling Checker

Do we still have the spelling checker available on this board? I know it used to be accessible here. If so, how do you make it work now?

I'm really a good speller, really!!

It's just that my fingers do not keep up with my brain, and I wind up transposing letters all over the place! That spelling checker was a handy tool.

In the area immediately above the box you compose your message in, you will see the letters "ABC" with a check-mark directly below it. Clicking on that "button" will start the spell checker feature.

Thanks CC! I see the spell checker now. Never paid much attention to all those little icons.

Leon: Spell check icon is tiny, but it's there. Take another look.

It's way over on the right side.....I didn't see it at first either.

I'd never noticed that icon either, but then Firefox has its own, which underlines a misspelled word in red, then allows replacement, etc. with a rightclick on the word (yes rightclick is underlined in both places).

I just tried the icon, and it added Firefox to the misspelled list -- works well. Thanks for the tip.

Leon, Can you see this "screenshot"? Spell check icon is circled in red. Double click on image to make it larger.

Leon, Instead of the "Post Reply" at the top of the page, try the "Quick reply to this message" in the lower right hand corner of each message. Then look in the upper right corner of the message box. If it's not there, better get a hold of Chris. If you're using Internet Explorer, you can download a free spell checker that will work on anything you want to highlight - it's called ieSpell - doesn't work with Mozilla, but as somebody said, Mozilla checks spelling as you type. I use Mozilla on my laptop and IE on the desktop. Download here: http://www.iespell.com/
Icon looks sort of like this:

Folks, it seems to depend on which editor you have selected. If you work in plain text, as I do, there is no spell checker.

Here is the discussion we had in January. Leon, does this help you?
