Spell Checker

[Bluesman]

Does anyone know if there is a spell checker when you post things on here and if so do you know where to turn it on. Mike

I always wondered the same,often not sure if my spelling is quite wite.

I thought there used to be one Mike but it seems to have gone - probably with an upgrade to the site - one of the Mods may help us - it would be handy.

I usually open a Word document and then cut and paste it in - especially if I am on one of my long technical rambles (more interesting than work). If I don't use a WP to spell check I usually have to make several edits to fix my Chimp English.

I use either an apple laptop iPad or Iphone all of which correct spelling as you go So no one knows how crap my spelling really is

I can't find a spell checker but it does show in red if it's spelt wrong which is a start.

When I type in the reply box using my Chrome browser I get an automatic spell check. A worf spelt incorrectly shows up with a wavy underline prompting one to check the spelling. No worries here!

In that case you should click on the red word & it should give you alternatives to choose

Oh yes, it works. Well done that man!

[Bluesman]

All I get when I right click is a drop down menu which shows Spell Checker ticked and nothing happens. Must be me being particularly thick today. Mike

Hooo neads spel czhecker anywayz .

[ManicMark]

Right click & it comes up at the top of the box (with linux anyway )

[Bluesman]

Sorted it. When you right click on word, drop down menu appears, "Check spelling" in menu should be ticked, ( I know I have been told that just stay with me) beneath that is a "Language" choice just put the cursor over the "Language" choice and make sure you have your choice of language ticked/high lighted. Everything tickety boo.

I av finally sorted oot my spulling cherker

I have finally sorted out my spelling checker

It is not the web site it is your web browser that must support the function - I use Firefox and it needs an add on installing.

With my core skills I am embarrassed it took me a while to figure this out - to be fair I usually write in Word and paste it in.

There is even a grammar checker for Firefox - hint :)

It was good to see the Lions are better at playing Rugby than I am at playing IT. It was majestic this morning.
