Spell Check Problems

[dxdexter]

I just got a new laptop running Vista and now when I make a spelling error while posting there is no longer a red line under the miss spelled text as there was when I ran XP. Is this feature able to be turned on and off? If so how do I fix this?

Hi Dex, isn't that a feature of Firefox, and not the OS? Boy I sure wish more peeple wood use ti!

dxdexter, when you're online, the spell check is provided by your browser - when you're offline writing an email, the spell check is provided by your OS. Just download the latest Firefox applicable to your OS and all will be well.

PS. The spell check says it's alright to spell online as one word but offline gets a red underline.

Thanks guys. I now have Firefox 3.0.7 and in the options the box "check spelling as I type" is checked, but I still have no spell check. I'm at a loss now.

Now I have to Google a word I'm unsure of prior to posting.

It doesn't work in Internet Explorer either.


EDIT: After a search on the Mozilla site; I finally got it to work with Firefox. I had to bring up a window as if I was going to post to the board and then right click > Languages > Add Dictionaries > and then select the appropriate language. I choose "English (Canadian)". So now I can spell words such as vapour, centre, and metre with no underline

You don't know how much you miss spell check until its gone.
