I never knew this, but when I type a post, and a word, is misspelled, all I have to do is right click on the underlined word, and a list of suggested words pop up, to highlight and correct. No need to click on the "spell check" button below. I can do this on my iMac at home, but doesn't seem to work on my PC at work. What can I say, I'm blond :)

At least I'm admitting it :)

That's because it is a MacOS thing =)

It may be an oldie, but I "heart" my Mac.

Ah, a Luxo!

Personally, I think that was a much better design than the current ones.

And a great space saver; doesn't take up too much desk space :)

It's not the hardware or the OS. It's the application.

Works just fine on my system using Word 2003.

Humm. I have Word 2007...wonder why it doesn't work.... ?

Holy shit! I didn't know that either! Thanks for the heads up!

But how do you know if the word is misspelled?

Hmmmm... I am trying and I must be doing something wrong. Maybe it doesn't work in comments, only when one is posting?

But how do you know if the word is misspelled?. This happens when I am posting and commenting; On my Mac misspelled words are underlined in red (this must be an iMac OS thing somehow connected to my Word app (or Appleworks)? My office PC has Word2007, does not do this; I have to always use the check spelling button on lj when posting or the preview button when commenting. Strange. This really saves a lot of time!
