I DON'T HAVE THAT INTERNET OPTION LISTED
BUT THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP ABOUT IT.
TRISH

Me neither... Whah!

I run windows XP. Thanks anyway :)

I'm on firefox. I'll go check explorer and see what it says.

In Microsoft Explorer

go to tools
click on options
click on programs
where it say HTML it should list a couple of programs, select your word processing program

Sorry that should read:

Windows Internet Explorer

This was funny.I went to where you said on the toolbar and followed all those steps and everything was already set..but it doesnt appear for me.. I dont have spellcheck on here.. I am use firefox also

Well, maybe it is set up somewhere else. I thought for sure that was it. All I know is that I have spell check no matter where I go on the internet.

I'll look again.

Okay, I'm flummoxed. I'll ask my son the next time I talk to him.

now I am even more confused..when I checked all my settings where you said they were all set already..but I didn't have the spellcheck.. I went off before and now if I am on DS and writing the spelling errors are underlined in red..Just here though..not other sites...maybe checking it while I was logged in here set it for this site?
Of course there is no suggested list of replacement words but at least now I can see the underlining.
Thanks Micki

That's good news for this board at least. Maybe you have to restart or something. Darned if I know. LOL!

Get "Google" toolbar, it works for all sites...
I can't live without it!!!

Hugs Cindy

I've never used googlebar. I have it on my computer, but I've been using firefox for so long that I never even thought to look at it.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Gonna get alot of flack for this however...
I'm just curious, Maglet, why you feel it necessary for people posting to use spell check? And I know you asked another member to not type in ALL CAPS...What gives?
Isn't the content of the "message" a person posts more important than the "mess" you seem to pointing your finger at?

When we were asked our opinion on what we would like to see on DS, many people said they wanted spell check. Since I already had it through my computer, I thought I would try to help.

I guess a message sent to someone in private isn't really private at all. So you should know why I asked one person to please not use caps in 2 very specific circumstances.

Maybe I am putting my 2cents in where I shouldnt but I was told years ago that typing in all caps is like yelling at someone, so maybe there was an incident where Maglet felt like she was being yelled at, However, I have also found my chatting with several fibro friends that they type in all caps because it is easier for them to see because of vision problems. In that case I try really hard to type back in caps to help them out.... I would love to find the spell check just so I didnt have to go back and fix it myself. :)
