Question Spell Checker?

freedomcoach,

Sorry about that confusion, fxstein is correct, I am running Firefox 3.5.6 and it is built in. I just tried in Internet Explorer 8 and it did not do any spell checking...

Again, sorry for the confusion.

I use Safari on my MacBook has also Firefox version 3.5.6. I have not noticed any spell checker in Firefox nor have I seen any in Safari. I will look for them. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you, freedomcoach, for starting this discussion. I've been using Mozilla Firefox for the past couple of years and, although I always suspected that one of its benefits was automatic spell-checking, I never bothered to enquire about the feature. This probably explains why I often have to revise many of my posts! :laugh:

Spell-checking solutions exist for Internet Explorer (although I don't know much about them): for example, Google has a toolbar that is supposed to automatically spell-check as you type; I rarely add extra toolbars to my browser because they usually contain redundant features that you can access in other ways (and therefore they are unnecessary or superfluous) or they cause more trouble than they're worth. Mostly these additional toolbars merely serve as ever-present advertisements for their developers. Why would you need to know, every time you misspelt something, that Google was responsible for saving your arse? :silly:
