Spell Check

We just bought a new HP computer. I do not have spell check and its driving me crazy. I tried to download sp from the intenet but it doesn't work. How do I get sp on this computer?

Do you want spell check for your e-mail or for stuff you write on the web? Which e-mail program are you using?

I want spell check for both, e-mails and web. My e-mail carrier is yahoo. I've used spell check on my other computers for 12 years or so and I feel lost without it, not to mention I have become so dependant upon it I forget how to spell now. Sad but true.

For the internet:

In TOTV, click on Reply. Click on the ABCcheckmark in the upper right hand corner. Click on OK. Download and Install IeSpell. Shutdown all IE windows and restart IE. Click on Tools on the IE task bar and click on IeSpell Options to configure it for your use.

Bring up TOTV and do a reply. Click on Tools on the IE task bar and click on IeSpell to check the spelling.

During the first reply you will get a request to download an active X control. Click okay. Before you click OK save what you were typing because it will go bye-bye.

After it is loaded, you can right click on any note that you compose and click on Check Spelling.

You can also use this spell check on other internet sites. That is why I like it so much.

Thank you zcaveman. It works great.

There is another type of spell check that makes a red squiggly line under a mis-spelled word. Do you know what type of sp that would be? I'd really like to have that again because I type fast and don't realize I have made mistakes until I see the red lines.

For Internet Explorer, I use ieSpell, found at www.iespell.com

For Firefox, I use the add-on (a.k.a. extension) called United States English Spellchecker.

Both work very well for me.

I would simply download and use google chrome instead of internet explorer-better and faster than firefox and then you will always have spell check for everything you do.
