And how does that

by Jimmy Greystone Mar 9, 2012 9:23PM PST

And how does that contradict anything I said exactly? I said there isn't a universal one for the OS, but specific apps might have one.

Also, just FYI, IE is short for Internet Explorer.

In what program do you want the spell check: in Notepad or in Google Chrome or some other program? The only Windows thing you can type things into is the command processor, and that doesn't need it.

There isn't one

by Jimmy Greystone Mar 6, 2012 10:32PM PST

There isn't one that is universal to the entire OS like with Mac OS X, only specific programs like Microsoft Word or Mozilla Firefox have spellchecks. In a lot of cases, with Microsoft programs at least, programs depend on having Microsoft Office installed in order for the spellcheck to function, since they just use the MS Office spellcheck program.
