If you are running IE and install ieSpell, as an added feature of this forum software, you will find a little "checkmark REC" in the upper right corner of your editor box while typing replies. Click this and it will spell check your replies and save you the embarrassment of getting a reply with [sic] in it! [wink]

ieSpell can be found (free) here and will work with your IE (only) browser for whatever you are doing and want to spell check.

NOTE (From Wikipedia):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic

Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus" or "so", used inside brackets — (sic) or [sic] — to indicate that an unusual (or incorrect) spelling, phrase, or other preceding quoted material is intended to be read or printed exactly as shown and is not a transcription error.

And for those of you who wouldn't dream of firing up IE for anything but Windows Updates, there's tinySpell, a great little freeware program I've used for a long time. It sits in your tray and checks you spelling in every program and makes a little blip noise (and the icon turns yellow) when you misspell something. Click on the icon and the word is listed with its correct spelling. Click on the correct spelling and the word is fixed while you type. Hope someone finds this useful! [smile]

Ann,

Thanks for that tip. Pretty neat tool, especially since ieSpell only works with IE!
