[SOLVED] spell checking

bdraft · 08-20-2009, 05:23 PM

I do some posting on various forums and I do emailing. From time to time I'm forced to use Opera instead of FireFox.

FireFox has a 'spell checker' built in to it. I can't find that in Opera, I tried looking for Opera's widgets, but didn't find anything, other than a dictonary toolbar.

Anybody have an idea on how to get spell checking turned on in Opera?? I've been through the settings and didn't see it listed.

thank you for your time;

Try the GNU Aspell spell checker.

Quote:

1. Download GNU Aspell and install it.
2. Install one or more Aspell dictionaries (The list of dictionaries are available in download site).
3. Restart Opera.

On restart, Opera will automatically recognize when GNU Aspell and one or more dictionaries are installed on your computer, but without a dictionary, GNU Aspell will not function as a spell checker.

Once the spell checker is installed, “Check spelling” option will appear in the context menu of all edit fields.

The latest version of Opera....Opera 10....has it's own built-in spellchecker.............( you choose an appropriate language from a list presented during installation)
