Found it THANKS!!!! Why doesn't MS have this working when we buy our PCs?
A spellchecker is so important.
OK... now question #2.

Where do is get a free spellchecer for WordPad? Would you know offhand? I
use WordPad a lot and have to C&P it to OE to spellcheck it, then C&P back
to WordPad to print it. A real pain in the (_|_). Is there something like
the above to have a spellchecker work in WordPad?

Thanks :-)

Offhand, no, I'm not aware of any spellchecking program that can be linked to
Wordpad, although I wouldn't be surprised at all if it existed as shareware or
something. But, your question prompts one from me? Why are you using WordPad?
I'm guessing that there's a good chance that your computer came with MS Works,
not WORD or Office, although it may have that too. Many new computer come
with Works, and Works contains an excellent word processing program from Microsoft.
Check your program list for it. It has a spell checker too. If you don't have it,
you can buy Works at a computer store pretty reasonably priced. I think around $30
and you get a spread sheet program, calender program, and database program included
.... nice, really. Also, there may be some freeware you can download. Cost ya
nothing. Learn how to search out freeware sites. Be careful though, some freeware
comes bundled with spyware - but not always. You can usually find out by reading
their privacy statement. I've learned to scan these things pretty fast now.

Okay, I did a quick search. Not sure how good any of these are but you can
download them and see. They have spellcheckers too.

I'll let you know how I make out......
