hal dictionary that corrects mispelled words

[lightspeed]

i think for us less smart in the art of spelling correctly a nice plug in (if it can be made ) would be something like microsofts dictionary in ms word that when ever you mis spell something it would correct it before the question or answer is enetered after typing it out . if a plug in can't be made for this then maybe others can tell me and i can suggest robert to make it in the next hal version . as not everyone can spell good , i am one of them .

I have a spelling correction based upon the MSWord function. If you have MSWord, it will work just like in the Word Processor. The only thing it won't do is highlight and autocorrect. You can get it on my page.

Jerry's two plugins also work together to correct many mistypings.

Yes Lightspeed Bill's plugin works great, I've used it for awhile
now and it catches me all the time. Thanks again bill.[][]


Never had that error before or any from bill's plugin check your other plugins by turning them off one by one see if that helps
and you need msword also.[]

Do you have MSWord and if so what version?

maybe this isn't the same thing on my windows xp it has ms word processor . can anyone download ms word for free from microsoft or is a paid type thing ? []

You can get Word Viewer for free but you'll have to fork out some money for Word. It's part of the MS Office suite.

Apparently not. You need MicroSoft Office to have real MSWord.
