Gary Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Dizz, somehow I have lost spell check from WW could you please inform me how to reactivate it please, had a look at my settings and profile and can't see any options. Didn't know we had one - best type up in word and then cut and paste if you don't trust your typing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Ooohh now you are asking Algy as I didn't know there was an option for that (I guess you can tell ha ha) I'll have a look. There is one in full editor mode though if that is what you mean (ie in this box as I am typing there is a little ABC with a blue tick at the top right) although that has never worked for me as if I click it it says "Message from Webpage...ie spell was not detected - Click ok to go to the download page" I tend not to download things incase they bugger my pc up but just for you I clicked it but my pc security wont allow it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Algy... I just looked, couldn't find it so googled the IP Board Spell Check and as such it has just occurred to me that the error message I get says "ie spell" is "internet explorer spell" so it's my browser that wont allow me to spell check not the forum icon as such. Durh ! I seem to remember you saying you use Safari so check your browser settings to see if you can turn it on/off in there. Something about Safari said to click in a text field then on the menu bar, go to Edit / Spelling and Grammar / Check Spelling While Typing. No idea if that might work though as I don't use Safari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter, if I didn't use 'spell checker', you would have to use an on line translator (typical example I had just typed 'translater' and it red lined the word) to make sense of what I have typed.
