I was reading the latest issue of PC Magazine and in their "Internet Professional Section" they have a decent script that allows forum postings to be spell checked right from your browser if you have MS Word... Remember, you have to have Microsoft Word for this to work...

Start Notepad, or your favorite text editor and paste the following in...</SPAN>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">
oShell= new
ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
oShell.SendKeys( "^c" ); //copy
oWord= new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
oWord.Visible= true;
oWord.Documents.Add();
oWord.Selection.Paste();
oWord.ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling();
oWord.Selection.WholeStory();
oWord.Selection.Copy();
oWord.ActiveDocument.Close(0);
oWord.Quit();
var nRet= oShell.Popup( "Apply changes?\nclick OK to replace all selected text.", 0, "Spell Check Complete", 33);
if ( nRet == 1 ) {
oShell.SendKeys( "^v" ); //paste
}

Save the file as spellcheck.js
Drag the file from Windows Explorer to the links bar in Internet Explorer to create a shortcut to the file. Right click on it to rename it and/or change the icon...

Hope this may help some...

Edit:
😕 Okay, can someone explian the SPAN information and other MS Information showing up.... mayhaps this script is not as cool as I thought 😱

You have to change the file association to IE, i think.

OMG!!! It works! COOL!!! 😀


Guys, just download the file he linked, put it in desktop or where ever, drag tot he "Links" in IE. (as he posted above)

Then all you have to do is highlight text anywhere in the browser you wasn?t to spell-check, and click the shortcut that was created on "links".

Azoth, thanks for this cool trick. 🙂

EDIT - Hahaha... guess I should have ran the spell-check before I pressed reply.
 
ohh... thats was my problem. you must highlight what you want changed. thanks for tip, maybe people will think i can spell again.

Haha... looking at your reply... you really need it. 😉😛
 
Oh yeah.. heh. Did I umm forget to mention that the text had to be highlighted? 😱

I could have sworn I mentioned it, perhaps the poo covered it up.
 
Aphex: Download file. Drag to "links" button next to "go" button. Right click shortcut, go to "Open With", then "Choose Program". Select "Microsoft (r) Windows Based Script Host" and check the "Always use this selected program..." box. Now go to the reply page(or whatever) here, type some words out, select a misspelled one, then go to links>shortcut to spellcheck.js.

where is this windows scripting host EXE file? i don't have it listed in the programs i have to choose from, so I'll have to do it manually.
