Spell Check

Posted 10 months ago I like to make sure that my spelling is correct before I post anything. As a result, I type all my posts in Microsoft Word before copying and pasting them in the post area. The thing is, when I do this it copies over, for lack of a better term, internet script which I do not see until after I hit submit. Then I need to hit edit and erase the script before resubmitting the post. It would be a lot easier if I could spell check within the posting area or be able to copy and paste without other things showing up. Just a suggestion.

It certainly would be - a good suggestion. Just remember to be careful of those tricky homophones (e.g. weak/week. two/too/to, etc.) Spell Check's major weakness: if it's a word, it's OK, even if it's the wrong word. As for Grammar Check - yikes. Forget that one entirely. It's wrong more often than it's right. |

| Posted 10 months ago Is it my imagination, or did there use to be a spell-check feature in the forums before the recent upgrade? Maybe it is some other part of the site that I'm thinking about. "What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches." - Karl Menninger |

| Posted 3 months ago I thnk that the way to go is to type and edit in word, then paste into notepad to lose formatting from word, and then paste onto website. |

| Posted 3 months ago I thnk that the way to go is to type and edit in word...... This is still a multi-step process, so it doesn't quite solve the problem. |

| Posted 3 months ago Amen, Samantha.
Did I mention that Jill said she would check with the engineers and get back to us? Still haven't heard a word...was that 2 or 3 weeks ago...or maybe longer? I hear that "patience is a virtue...." ~still smiling, ~debo
