I have decided to start this thread for discussing technical issues that come up rather than messing up the other threads.
I guess the first issue seems to be pasting Word text into posting boxes.
Recently we have had three threads lockup up as a result of posts involving Word text.

HELP - In Rich Formatting how do you spell check a post and correct it. I use the ABC bar but then it only highlights a mis spelt word and unlike Word does not give alternatives so you have to guess again and again until correct.
As an Engineer and as Engineers are we are not the best spell check people.

Are you using Internet Explorer?
On my version I got ieSpell and that is pretty much like Word
In the text box I have next to the right of the posh link bar I have a ABC with a tick and a toggle spellchecker that just has a load of countries listed - I have ticked English. When I press ABC it just underlines in Red the mis spelt word but shows no alternatives whatever I do - so need to guess the next spelling.
I do have Internet explorer but see no ieSpell.
Even the latest word no longer has ABC it has ABC striked out and when I use it it just strikes out the word I have highlighted. At least word when you Right Click it gives alternative spelling.
It is taking me longer to post as I have to write it all up in word then spell check then put it into a posting in Rich Formatting - There must be an easier way.
Keith If you right click the ABC a menu comes up and one option is something like <check spelling>
Highlighted the word misspell and R Click ABC - Yes a load of commands but not a Check Spelling or anything of that nature.
I may have solved it. I have pressed ABC to highlight the incorrect words - then left click on the word and it brings up suggestions - Will practice now.
However it does not change 03/98 as an error in to 03/08 - LOL.
