Spell-Checking For Windows 7

[Khandro]

I've had to abandon XP and install W7. I used before, iespell here on AB and other places by right clicking on the text, but this no longer seems to be possible to use it on W7. How can I now check on my spelling please?

This should help you, khandro, if you're now installing w7 & Office 2010, just scroll down to after the "Here's what I found", then follow the instructions

Nibble; Thanks, but would that give me a spell check in Answerbank posts?

that's usually going to be a browser setting - IE by any chance?

Khandro, you will need to set that up on your browser, which Browser are you using?

[Khandro]

I'm using Internet Explorer, with Google as my homepage.

Spell check on IE

Go to Tools/Internet Options/Programs. Look down the tab for Manage add-ons and click on it. On the next bit choose 'Spelling Correction' scroll down and make sure you've got English UK as default and make sure there is a 'tick' in the Enable spelling correction box, click close, click Apply and then OK.
