Spell-Checker for Notepad & Wordpad

You have probably found that Notepad and Wordpad do not have a SpellChecker included. However, I have found this SpellChecker add-on that will do the trick for you. It's called Tiny Spell. Click on the title line of this posting and you can download the installation file. If your firewall asks you if it's okay to change settings, say yes. When you have opened and installed this program you will have the installation file on your desktop which you can drag and drop into your "My Documents" folder for safekeeping and also a desktop icon (which you probably won't need and you can right-click and delete if you want) . This will leave you with a blue and white icon at the bottom of your screen (with a checkmark and the letters TS - for Tiny Spell I guess). From now on, as you are typing in Wordpad, Notepad or most other Microsoft programs you will hear a beep and the icon will turn yellow if it detects a misspelled word. When this happens, click on the icon and a page will pop-up with suggested corrections to the last word you just typed. When you pick a correction or ignore and move on the icon will turn blue-white again waiting for the next word as you go along. I have just installed this to try and it works great! Price: FREE!!! Hope this helps you out.
