Open Thread 2

Hi all,

A couple of people were talking about WordPad last time. It doesn't have its own spell-check facility.

Well, the good news is that you can add a free one. It's called tinySpell and you can find it right here.

Simply download, instal, and restart your PC. You'll see the tinySpell icon in the system tray (below right).

Open a WordPad file and start typing. If you mispell a word you'll hear a beep and the tinySpell icon will turn yellow. Right click on it and it brings up a list of words. Click on the one you want – and you're good to go!

It works in other applications too.

If anyone finds another accessory that's better than this one (and it's free!) please let us know.
