No more “ typo” error…

[Shamou]

If you want your texts to be free of typo errors… simply download “ieSpell” (see here)… it is free… and will underline in red any typo error in your texts…

I have been using it for over two years… and I could not work without it…

I just use Google Desktop, which has a spell-check feature.

Mozila Firefox 2 has spellchecking built in and it is a much much better browser than IE.

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't realized that about Firefox.

I don't like it's tabbing interface though. I keep closing the tabs because they all have red x's on them in the tab bar. And the button on the right is a useless list of all of the tabs open instead of a close button. Just incase you get Firefox 2..

So I'd stick with Firefox 1; I think I saw a spellchecker plugin somewhere but it didn't underline anything; you had to right-click on the words.

I have Firefox 2 and is does underline any misspelled word... like in your quote, I see "spellchecker" and "plugin" underlined in red...

I was talking about Firefox 1 though; there was a spellchecker plugin for it before Firefox 2 came out.

I think there is actually an extension that can return the Firefox 2 tabs to Firefox 1-1.5 style (eg. red cross in top right corner of screen, not on each tab).

EDIT......YOU DONT NEED AN EXTENSION:

# Type about:config in the address bar and press enter
# In the filter field type browser.tabs.closeButtons
# Double-click on the entry and enter the corresponding number below:

0 - Display a close button on the active tab only
1 - Display a close button on each tab (default)
2 - Don’t display any close buttons
3 - Display a single close button at the end of the tab bar (Firefox 1.x behavior)

# Click OK
# Close the about:config editor or tab
