Also in Word did you know in spell check you can program in shortcuts for things you have to type over and over but they never change...for example if you lived in New York, you could program your entire address and give it a shortcut like NY and it would automatically put in the entire address. A big help if you are sending out a lot ofcorrespondencee.

That was my happy accident for the day!

Doesn't work for me.
I have windows 7 and I only have been able to use spell check if I am in word/office or in e-mail.
Thanks for sharing.

I may not know how to spell but I know when I have spelled a word wrong it does not look right and I start trying to sound it out (not easy with the English language) Once I get it close enough for the spell check to figure out what I am trying to say it works but sometimes I still have to google a word. Google seems to be a better spell guesser then the chrome browser.
Some people see others who are unable to spell well or have horrible grammar as uneducated, lazy and or dumb. I am neither. I am someone who has struggled all of my life to be able to learn something that for most people is easy and when most people are able to stop being educated at the age of 18 or collage I am not. I will forever have to learn because I am unable to retain anything I have learned
(P.S I had 20+ spelling mistake in this writing I love spell checker!)
