  What I do is type my post on the followup form choose edit from the tool bar, select all, and copy. Then open MS Word and paste my post into a Word Document, run spell check, select all, copy, minimize Word and paste it back into my post. Leave Word running in the background and it won't take as long.
  It would be nice not to have to do that but it takes longer to describe than to actually do it.

  That's a tough one. We'd have to buy something and integration is surely an issue along with the question of which one to buy or if any good one exists. Of course, if you spell as poorly as I do, even the MS Word spell checker hasn't got a clue what I'm trying to say.

  If some folks can point me to sites that have this feature implemented well, then I can look into it and see what it'll take in terms of time and money.

    Hi Rod,

    I'm a webtver.All I know about computers is they seem hideously complicated,and flight simulators are cool.

    How about a scaled down spell checker.For instance,on the a2 opening page,under search engine,a link for spell checker.On this page would be a screen similar to basic search engine.Type in a word and get it checked.

    Is this Possible? Would it be easier and/or cheaper to implement in this fashion?

    Best regards,
    Andy

      Howdy

      I have the Google Toolbar in IE and can just paste a word into it and get a good spell check. (If you spell a word correctly you can then click on it in the "Searched English pages for xxx yy" section of the header to get a dictionary lookup for it.)

        Sometimes Google's suggestions are worse than my original spelling because it assumes my words are nouns (ie: persons, places, or things) rather than other unaffiliated parts of speech.
