A quick way to check spelling online is to add a script to your browser that lets you check a word against your PC's spelling program. (Script! sounds hard and too professional for me!) Not at all let us guide you through it, step by step! This script is designed to be used exclusively with Internet Explorer 5.x by adding an item called Spelling to your right-click context menu. You'll need Microsoft Word and version 5.1 of the windows Scripting Host installed - To determine which version of Windows Scripting Host you have, download this file to a temporary directory, unzip it and double click the extracted file WSH_test.vbs. It will tell you which version you currently have installed. If your version is anything prior to v5.1, go to the Microsoft Windows Script Technologies Page, and update to the most recent version. Installation and Use Instructions: Click here and download the IE Context Menu Speller to a temporary directory in the same partition on which your Windows installation resides. Unzip the contents of the zip file into this same directory. Double click Install_Spell_It.vbs to install the program. When you restart Internet Explorer you'll find a new item in your right-click context menu. Highlight any text and then right-click it. Select Spelling from the context menu. The program will launch your Microsoft Word's spell checker utility allowing you to make corrections to the text. While you may spell check any text, this program is most useful when correcting editable text in applications such as a forum post text field. When you're done, simply press Ctrl+V to paste the corrected text from the clipboard, where the program stores it, into your editable field. Use a program like WinZip http://www.winzip.com to open the files. Detailed instructions |
