Hi hev All you need to do is type your post and then press the button (which is a tick with the letters ABC above it) on the top of your post page next to the font and size drop downs. This brings up a new window with your message on the left. It then spell checks your document and highlights any spelling errors on the left hand side of the window with suggestions for the correct spelling on the right hand side of the window. This sounds more difficult than it really is so give it a go with a post and see how you get on. Let me know if you need any further information Kind regards Lufty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lil_me Report post Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) I don't know if this is intentional but usually on a spell checker it makes suggestions for corrections and when I use the one on this site it does not Edited January 2, 2006 by lil_me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
