I used to know all this stuff, but I seem to be getting left further and further behind. When I go on Saneagle's computer, any spelling miistakes that I make are high-lighted before I post, but I don't have that on mine (Windows 7 IE9). I've searched everywhere, but I can't find a setting to switch it on. Can someone help me please?

I think most spell checkers are add on's. I dont use IE but have found this that might be of help to you.

Just do a search for speckie.


Speckie is a free, add-on for IE9 that provides a real-time spell-checker that looks just like the one available in Chrome or Firefox. It underlines misspelled words you type in a form in your browser, just like Microsoft Word does.

There are other options for adding spell-checking to IE9, such as ieSpell. However, there are a few features unique to Speckie. It is the first and only real-time, dedicated spell checking solution for IE. Speckie can use one or more dictionaries simultaneously (it supports more than 30 different languages) and it is the only spell checker that works with the 64-bit version of IE. You can run Speckie in Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, or 9 on Windows XP, Vista, and 7 (32 and 64 bit).

NOTE: IE doesn’t work with browser windows that are pinned to the start menu or taskbar as web apps. This is by design. IE does not load toolbars or extensions like Speckie on pinned sites for security reasons.

Installing Speckie is simple. Simply double-click on the .exe file you downloaded (see download link at the end of this article) and follow the instructions in the setup wizard, clicking Yes on the User Account Control dialog box, if needed.

Perhaps he's using Google's Chrome browser, which I think does this by default, and is (IMHO) a much better browser.

You could use Chrome Dave, which comes with a spellchecker.

Just download the "IeSpell" spell checker in the edit box when posting, It's on the righ-hand side of the menu bar....the ABC icon.

It will install into your "tools" menu on IE9. After writing your reply, click on "tools" select "IeSpell" and it will scan your text for you.

Thanks for all your suggestions I'm now using Chrome. Strange things were starting to happen with IE anyway. so I killed two birds with one stone.
