Spell Checking On The Massgae Board

01-25-2002, 08:58 PM

A few weeks ago, there was some talk about spell checking messages before they are posted to the Message Board. I believe the reply was that it was not possible on the Forum, as this time.

I played around and found a fairly easy way :

1. Write the text of your message in the "Post New Message" screen.

2. Once your message is written, use your mouse and highlight all the text of your message.

3. Right click on your mouse and choose "Cut". When you do this, your message text will disappear.

4. Use your "minimize" button to shrink the Luger Forum. Do not "close" the Luger Forum.

5. Open up your favorite word processor. Mine is MS Word.

6. When you have a blank document in your word processor application, right click and choose "Paste". When you do this all your message text will appear.

7. Run your word processor spell checker and "spell check" your document text.

8. Use your mouse again to highlight all the text in your word processor document. Right click and choose "Cut". When you do this your message text will disappear from your word processor document.

9. Close your word processor application.

10. Restore your Luger Forum to full screen size.

11. Place your mouse cursor in the empty screen of the Message.

12. Right click again and choose "Paste". Your message board text will now re-appear, with all the spell check corrections.

Good luck and hope it works for you...

You guys use a computer!

Heck, no wonder this is so difficult! I call Thor, he calls Hugh, who calls John and it is sent via telegraph!

They spell check it!

Well, actually that is a good idea and one I usually use, so when you see a mistake, it is cause I'm being lazy and trusting me ole I's.
