Curious if it was possible to add a feature to the Main text area similar to the newer versions of Microsoft and Lotus Notes.
When you type a word incorrectly you get a red squigle under the word. If you right click the word there is suggestions for the correct spelling.

It's built into Firefox.

That is correct. I use Firefox and it works that way. The only option available for IE is ISpell where you have to right click on and choose check spelling or use the ISpell icon in the upper right of this box.

Lotus Notes already has a spell check built into it.(the company I work for is a Domino/Notes shop) Are talking about browsing from within Notes. If so, set you browser to be Firefox or IE with the Ispell plugin added from your Notes preferences.That way any links coming thru your email will be opened by the browser you set when your in Notes.

Freebird posted a link to a spell checker downloadable from Micro Soft. Tried to find it to add to the reloaded XP Media but no luck. Is that thing still around or have they discontinued it?? I used it a olt.....

Thanks Rick, but the one Don gave the link to was a plug in for IE and it placed a link right in the tool bar. Really convient.

If your posts don't have spelling errors you'll have no credibility as a biker!

I have Firefox loaded now and it gives me a red line if I spell something incorrectly. Also has stopped that problem where the posts go off the screen.
Carl you ought to try it, it is better than that old Dictionary you use. :stirthepot:
