Hi folks-
Found what I think is a pretty neat little program in this TechTV (http://www.techtv.com/callforhelp/freefile/story/0,24330,3401318,00.html) article called ieSpell (http://www.iespell.com/download.php) .

I immediately thought of how handy it might come in before posting here in the forums. Just downloaded it and it works great. In fact, I had spelled "immediately" wrong before the checker found it. :D

No spy-ware, puts a neat little button in you IE tool-bar and works slick.

Maybe you guys have already heard of it or an alternative, but for me it sure is a lot easier than copying and pasting to and from my word processor checker before posting! :p

For Windows and IE5 or higher only...Pretty cool.

Nice, but there are those of us who have put IE out to pasture...;). I am waiting for them to get the bugs out of the built in spell checker in Mozilla (seems to be several licensing concerns more than real bugs).

HeHe...I'm glad some of you like it!
Yes, I realize many of you use different browsers (I actually have opera and have tried others myself), but I decided to start a "Hey! M$ employees are people too" club.

"We love Microsoft" "We love Microsoft" "We Microsoft"
(I'm chanting just in case you didn't know)

Wow! I'm really loosing it now! :D

Anyway, yea.... I generally use IE and this spell checker is a really cool tool I think.
Hey Mark- You probably already figured it out, but there are options to change in your tool menu, and right clicking on a word gives you options also.
And, you probably already read it before downloading, but if you have customized your toolbar in the past you may have to go to view/toolbars/customize to add the button to your toolbar....(Otherwise it will put it there automatically).

OK...I'm about to post this...Hang on...Hmmmm..."Color=orangered" isn't in the dictionary- Think I'll ignore that one.

(Edit) Just a little hint- Don't ever post anything after a nap on the couch until you've had a cup of coffee...Geesh- I sure am a strange one. :rolleyes:

Hmmm, I thought that sounded an awful lot like the crazed minions of the mad scientist before they destroy the local 7-11....:D
