I have two PC's at home on which I write my AB posts. On one of the machines, if I misspell a word, it's underlined in red. Right clicking on the word brings up the correct spelling of the word, "add to dictionary", "undo", "select all", "spell check this field" and "languages", which is much the same as in MS Word.
On the other PC, misspelled words are not underlined.
Both PC's have MS Word installed on them, so I can't understand why the difference. Can anyone shed any light on this please?
I presume that you are using Firefox 2 with its inbuilt spell checker as your browser on at least one of the PCs. The other is either not Firefox 2 or has its spell checker turned off (Tools → Options... → Advanced → General → Browsing → Check my spelling as I type).
Yes you're right kempie. I am using Firefox 2.0.0.4.
The problem is that I've just checked and the same version is installed on both PC's. I went to "check my spelling as I type" and discovered that the boxes are ticked on both computers.
