Typing a message in some word processing program and then "cutting and pasting" into a post isn't
that big a deal, but wouldn't it be nice if you could just spell check within the post itself?
I found this
Forum Spell Check shareware over the weekend, and seems to work well. You have to have MS Word and IE 5.0 or greater to use it.
The site also contains several useful programs including
SpyBot, which is a nice counter-part to Ad-Aware.
Be careful with SpyBot though! In addition to identifying Spyware, it also ID's other
possible problems on your computer, and removing some of them can cause problems if you don't know what your removing. A good rule of thumb with SpyBot is to ignore the things it IDs, other than spyware which show up as
RED, unless you
absolutely know what your doing. Informational storage data shows up as
BLUE. The stuff in
BLACK shouldn't be mucked with.
