Spelling Help-OT but usefull-and not spam
Greetings All,
I know, in the subject I spelled useful wrong. I thought it might attract attention. There are many words that pass a spell checker czech butt still are knot the wright word. I use a freeware program for spelling checks of words I'm not sure of that also gives the definition of the word. It is called Word Web. The free version installs a limited dictionary in your computer. If the word cannot be found in this limited dictionary you have the option of looking on the webby clicking a link. This will look for the word in several places on the web, wikipedia for example, and you can click on any of these links, all at no charge. I use this free version a lot and just thought other folks here might find it useful. All the usual disclaimers apply, this not spam. Cheers, Eric |

Hey Eric,
Sooooo......how do we find it?? Take care. Brian Lawson, Bothwell, Ontario. ps... used to be, long ago, that the "dictionary" for spell checking files were called *.lex for "lexicon". But those days seem to have passed. I would DEARLY love to be able to REMOVE a couple of words in the spell-check of Agent and Eudora. I regularly do a typo where the typo is a properly spelled word, so it gets past. The word "form" comes to mind when I meant to type in "from".
