OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! THERE IT IS - I SEE IT, AND I HAVE XP. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
As I've said before, there is an updated version of this vanilla forum to download, which may or may not have spellcheck, but I am so afraid to download it for fear of losing everything that has been written.
bluedaze, the font on what? You can't change the font on this forum. It doesn't have the ability to do that.
You can change the resolution of your monitor. If you choose to have less "desktop" the fonts are automatically bigger. There used to be a display function for Internet Explorer, but I haven't been able to locate it recently. There are problems with remembering early versions of a program that is now many versions older.
Opps, I found it. If you are in XP look for a button bar towards the right of your screen. The last two buttons should be Page and Tools. You want Page. Hit the down arrow. Choose Text Size and change your font size.
Look at the tool bar at the top of Internet Explorer. UNDER where it says "File, edit, favorites, tools, and help. Look to the far right. There is a little icon that says ABC with a checkmark, and its says check. That's the spellcheck, and it works for this forum. I tried it. :)
I found spellcheck on my XP by clicking settings on toolbar,drop box comes down then click on options.You then click the ABC---that worked for me. Hope this helps you.
I've tried everything suggested and I can't pull up ABC's. I can't do this anymore - something seems to be wrong with Hank (not the usual) and I'm trying to decide what to do about that. He had head pain yesterday and said he hit his head, but I don't think he did. Now he has a pain in the right side of his abdomen. I tried the UTI stick, and it isn't that. I googled a desciption and maybe it could be a kidney stone, maybe something else so if it isn't better I'll have to try to find medical help where we are...not my idea of a fun day.
Someone clued me in on the spell check feature, but really, does it matter? We all know what we're trying to say & will forgive a few typos. Typos, spelling are not as important as the substance of the message.
Yeah, we all have enough stress in our lives, spelling is just not that important to get stressed out about. :-) Just say what you want & everyone will figure it out. Some things, well we just have to let go. Sometimes I type with my cat in front of my monitor, her brand new favorite place & I can't see to do spell check, much less what I have typed. I put her down on the floor & she hops up again. She loves to watch the words form. It's something moving & that's entertainment. As someone said, was it Sunshyne, well now you have a CAT scan. It was funny.
i dont have spellcheck only in emails as i only have webtv and not a hardrive type computer.. i wont change it for anything! ha..love using the TV screen as my monitor and from my comfy living room chair typing all day. so if i misspell so be it. divvi
Oh bluedaze, that was so funny. Now, don't think I have it better than you do. She sits, but wags her tail, so I have to dodge between the wagging tail to type. Not to mention all the cat hair getting into my keyboard. Life was so much easier before she became computer literate.
Bluedaze, you crack me up! LOL. I actually have artists brushes around & will try that out. :-) :-) She's white (the worst shedding cat, and long haired) I love the site mentioned on another thread, www.catoftheday.com. They also have dogs of the day & pets of the day.
Val-I have two red long haired boys-one a Maine coon. They are very talented. They shed white on my wood floors and red on any black clothing. I only have two small area rugs and that is where they choose to upchuck. How did we get from spellcheck to cat fur?
I don't know, but these days, anything that is good for a laugh, is good for me. Who cares about spell check when you can have a good laugh? Guess I mentioned my girl, Katrina, is a Maine coon. I love your sense of humor. I have mostly hardwood floors. It's funny how the cat fur collects in "clumps" here & there. She runs around the house like it's a marathon & the fur comes flying off. High maintenance princess. Has to have her manicure once a month or her kneading leads to big gashes in my legs. Not attractive. Sometimes I think people must think I'm a self mutilator.
Glad I'm not a germaphobiac. Bluedaze, you probably haven't seen a white cat's butt. Any little brown thing can be seen there. :-) All my other cats were orange tabby cats.
