Free spell checker for IE forms?

Is there a XP Home compatible spell checker that will check IE, Notpad, and WordPad?

I'm testing WordPadPlus, same as XP Home's WordPad, but with a built-in spellchecker—nice but very slow loading, and, it won't check message board posts or other website communications in IE.

With my Mac I have a spellchecker that sits on my desktop and I can select any text in any app and it checks it. I'd like to find something for my PC that does the same, ideally free.

I lost my Word97 app during the XP upgrade. I find I'm quite happy with a WordPad type text editor.

Thanks,

Kerry

 

Kerry--Open this page and scroll down until you see reference to Spell Check for Outlook Express.

As you can see it basically restores the Word files that you have lost.

 

Thanks,

Something like this?

 

Hi Brett:

It looks perfect. I'm wondering if it will work with XP Home?

Kerry

 

Ah ... hmmm ... yes ... well ... by the time a hunted out the link, I had forgotten that you had written that you were using XP.

I don't think it will work. I'm sorry!

 

Kerry--You're welcome. Did it work for you?

 

Hi Jim:

No, that site pertains to spell checking for OE. I have XP Home's OE6 and it has its own spellcheck.

I'm looking for a free spell check utility that ideally would spell check WordPad, Notepad, and forms and message boards in conjunction with IE.

I found one named APSC but it's a bit clunky, with copy paste manuevers. Still looking.

Thanks,

How about Word Web?

It doesn't do it "automatically" but you can check your spelling.

Hi Indutch:

It appears to be a dictionary and thesaurus, not a spell checker.

Thanks though.

Kerry--I did a search at www.google.com on "spell check" and came up with this.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="spell+check"&btnG=Google+Search
If none of those satisfy, you can play around with what you ask Google to search for.

 

Thanks Jim, I''ll keep loooking.
