Hi Mike and welcome. I too have a spelling problem so I write all my posts in Word, then do a spell check before I copy and post onto the forum. Some types of word will not let you copy by high lighting and copying with a right click, so I use the other method which is to highlight after the spell check and hold down Ctrl and C to copy then paste it with Ctrl and V

I do not so much have a spelling problem, more that I hit the wrong key or do not press hard enough but never thought of Word followed by copy and paste.
Thanks Syd.

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the Forum.

Don't worry about spelling, I can't spell either!

Best wishes,

John H-T.

If you download the Google toolbar you will get a spellchecker which enables you to highlight and check what you actually type into the forum before you post it. Anything else on the toolbar that you don't want can be turned off.

Shed Cat 12th January 2008 17:04

One day I hope for a sense-checker that converts what you actually wrote into what you originally meant to say. (If you undersand me)

I once had an excellent PA who would automatically edit and re-write all my business letters as she typed them into something much more comprehensible. Now managers do all our own typing staight into the pc, there is no chance for someone like Janet to save our embarrassment.

Welcome to the forum Mike. :)

Took your advice John and downloaded the Google toolbar. I now have a spellchecker on this and every other site I use. Look no spelling mistakes and I typed this straight in to the Quick Reply box.

swisstrains 12th January 2008 21:44

Glad it works for you Syd. I've been using it for quite a few months now without any problems.
