Spell check

Post by Tombaston » 07 Nov 2004 09:26

I have searched the wish list and am amazed I can't find this. Please can you add a spell check facility. I frequently make typos which I don't notice (as I am sure my postings bear witness). This would need to use the same custom dictionary that I use for other windows applications.

I would like this to check just about any field, but maybe with options not to check the name field.

What custom dictionary, to my knowledge there is no shared dictionary in windows, each application has its own.

I will add the spell checking to the wish list in the week.

Maybe my knowlege of Windows is not so good here. Word, Outlook, Excel etc all seem to use the same custom dictionary so maybe it's just MS products. So maybe an FH custom dictionary is a better idea, then I wont have to have things like Jhon in my dictionary I use for Word.

Thanks and I look forward to voting from the typographicaly challenged like myself.

I'm new to FH and I've been looking for the spell checker. I've also checked the 'wish list' and couldn't find any reference to a spell checker. I guess a spell checker doesn't exist. It would be very useful indeed is FH could use the spell checker assigned to MS Office products, ie Word, Excell and Outlook.
