Spell checking in WordPress
I have researched spell checker plug ins and there are a few about but all seem to have some sort of problems. It seems the best solution is to use the Google toolbar spell checker as it works fine in the WordPress writing window. The toolbar is well worth getting anyway as it has other useful tools and the PageRank indicator (just search for “Google toolbar” in Google and get the version for your browser (I have used it OK with IE and FireFox)
When you click on the “ABC” icon in the toolbar it highlights any errors with red and underline and offers alternative spellings, or you can just edit to correct it or add new words to the dictionary. Once fixed, the word stays green until you are finished.
Works a treat! (except it seems to make the text cursor disappear so you can’t see where your insert point is?)
