Spell Checking

Spell checking any of your posts is simple. Once you've entered your post into the Message Body field, instead of clicking "Submit", click "Spell". This will bring up a pop-up window with the results of your spell check.

The spell checker will then step through each of the words it does not recognize from your post and provide alternatives (similar to Microsoft Word's Spell Check feature). If the alternative is correct, choose "Replace"; if your spelling is correct, choose "Ignore".

When you've corrected or ignored all of the alternatives the spell checker has provided, the pop-up window will close and the Message Body text box will be updated to reflect the changes the spell checker made.
