will this work in the reply section here....

My spelling is very bad and that is why I don't reply very much, always worried that I will not spell something right..I do keep a dictionary by the computer but that takes so much time to look up the words when you have no idea how it is spelled....

I do not get the red lines either. I am not the greatest speller either. Always have been, I have an issue where I do not here the word correctly, therefor I do not spell it correctly...

Dina: To enlarge your font, hold down control and use the wheel on the mouse to make it larger. (I don't know how this works on a laptop though)

That was my happy accident for the day!
Didn't know that, learn something new everyday.

I have a similiar problem. Having had chemo,one of the side effects is short term memory loss. I'm ok now, but vocabulary is still hard. Sometimes I forget a word, use the definition, and I expect others to know what I'm saying. My family is used to this.

Love spell check. I spell okay, but hitting the right keys are sometimes tricky for my older hands. I wish there was a grammar check as sometimes I cringe at mistakes I see. However, I don't let it ruin my day, as we all make mistakes.
