weggl Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Around 4-5 weeks back I was typing away and some of my words were maked in red. It seemed that the powers that be had introduced spell check. Never saw it again. Was there a test going on? Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 It still happens. Just the same if you use word as an email editor. If you right click the red underlined word it will give you an option to change/correct it. If you know the word is right then add it to the dictionary and it won't be underlined in red next time.

Muddy Waters Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Bill - I beleive Warren is saying he knows how it works but it isn't working anymore. I know my posts occasionally highlight mispelled words but most of the time it doesn't. I'm not sure why it is intermittent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yea Muddy, thats what I mean, do the geeks turn it on and of at their will? Do we have spell check or not? That is the question? [roll] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB2 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 [unsure] Are the mispelled words underlined within the text box or when you look at the preview?? or Are you referring to typing a response in another application prior to cut-and-paste into this forum?

Matty A Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I was thinking it might of had to do with the web browser they were using. I think if I use my laptop i get the squiggly line underneath but cant be 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Paul, in the text box. But only now and then. Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 I think Matt might be right, it underlines when I use Firefox but not with Safari. Paul the red is in the text box, but no correction. Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty A Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I don't think Coopers would know anything about it. Just a plugin thats installed on your browser which will spell check anything thats written in a text box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I use Firefox at home and have IE at work and both are fine. I have never been on those African Safari ones so can't comment on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty A Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Its not that it doesnt work properly its just that the spell check is not always there for Warren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy Waters Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I use firefox and it is there occassionally - how do I get it there all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoptimus Maximus Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I use firefox and it is there occassionally - how do I get it there all the time? Have you upgraded Firefox Muddy? If so you will probably need to download a new dictionary. Here is a link that may help. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/ That problem happens occasionally for me with Nightly and Minefield the test versions of Firefox that I have been running for the last year. They upgrade daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty A Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 It could be a plugin that is simply disabled and somehow enabled sometimes. Also no-one from Coopers has denied that this function has been planned and they are testing it[rightful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 A denial. That's the response you would expect from someone conducting secret tests. Matty, don't let go of your conspiracy theory just yet. I think I've been watching too many movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty A Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 That was my first thought too Hairy. I didnt think you would be Paul. I think I notice it only when I run firefox on my laptop. If i remember correctly I had to install this tho Spell Checker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 John I just upgrade via your link and it works - Thanks mate [biggrin] Matty - Spell check was enabled but wasn't working.

Muddy Waters Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Did you download and install the dictionary again Warren? If you do install the updated version it will work. You may need to select "check my spelling as I type in your advanced preferences tab if it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
