Title: Sadly, my days of terribly spelled posts may now be over.
Post by: Bunk on July 07, 2005, 08:00:30 AM
Just finished setting up a new pc at work finally. I'd been running a Celeron 600 for the last two years, but it finally choked trying to open multiple documents in Office 2k3. So here I am installing all my software, when I realized that I hadn't installed Google toolbar yet.

So I download and install Toolbar ver 3, and what do I discover..... SPELL CHECK!!1!

I am no longer to be cursed by the message board that refuses to check my spelling!

You'll all still have to put up with my shitty grammar though.

btw - I have no idea when they actually put spellcheck in to Google Toolbar, but this was the first time I'd seen it. It makes me happy. Now if I could just get the shift key on this cheap new Dell keyboard to be a bit more sensitive. I keep having to go back and re-capitalize things.

Google Toolbar is the best thing ever.  Its highlight/find feature should be in every browser and text editor.

That feature is exactly why I noticed I didn't have it installed yet, I use it all the time.

Firefox has the Google toolbar's find in page/highlight functionality by default.  It also has a search box with a dropdown of search engines(mine is always set to google).

Of course, it doesn't auto-spellcheck for you...  but someone's prolly written or currently writing a plugin to do that.  I'm just too lazy to check.
