question
« on: October 14, 2012, 12:11:34 AM »
Until I switched to this new used computer, on the old used computer, when I was typing an original topic or a comment, misspelled words were automatically underlined by the software, drawing my attention to them.

I know how to spell, but I type so fast inadvertent misspellings happen.

On this new computer, it doesn't do that.

I looked at all the profile option thingamajigs, and I can't find any feature that says this is available, the automatic underlining of misspelled words.

I fear I'm starting to look like a primitive.

What web browser are you using?

Is the spell-checker turned on?

Right now, Explorer.

I'd used both Explorer and Firefox on the old one.

I just haven't gotten around yet to downloading Firefox yet.

IE doesn't come with a spell checker.  You have to install it as an add-on.

Download ieSpell.  It should install automatically.

Do a custom installation and turn off all those damn toolbars and other junk that it offers.
