If you use Google Chrome (it's free) as a browser, free spell-checking comes with it. There are others but we really like Chrome.

Still on the subject of 'spell checker' -



How do I change my spell checker on my word programme to spell check in English and not American English (which I hate!)?



My word programme is 2003.



Thanks

In 2007. Open Word, click on the Word symbol, go to the bottom, click on options and then select “Language settings”.



Sorry, but not sure if 2003 similar.

Scoobydoo,

Open Microsoft Word.

Left click on tools.

Then language, Set language, Highlight English UK, Then OK.
