Nettie Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'm using Chrome but I am missing my spellchecker. Can you add one to the Chrome toolbar does anyone know Here are the instructions: http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/a...mp;answer=95604 Do you type too fast? Google Chrome has a built-in spell-checker to automatically check what you're typing into web forms and text fields. To access settings for the spell-checker, follow these steps: Click the Tools menu . Select Options. Click the Minor Tweaks tab. Click the Change font and language settings button. In the 'Fonts and Languages' dialog box, click the Languages tab. You can adjust the following settings at the bottom of the dialog box: Turn the spell-checker off Deselect the 'Check spelling' checkbox if you don't want to see red squiggly lines underlining misspelled words. Change the language for the spell-checker dictionary Select your preference in the 'Spell-checker language' drop-down menu. It may take a few minutes to download the selected dictionary and for the updated setting to take place. Click OK . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiri_tc Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I downloaded chrome this afternoon, but couldnt get on with it at all. Ive just downloaded IE8,2. Anyone else using that? The problems with IE seem to be mainly with IE7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celeste Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'd tried Chrome before but tbh it didn't do that well on my old laptop, but it seems much more compatible with this one, I'm going to try changing the spell checker thing, I had a bit of bother getting my googlemail onto the Chrome page but got that now, I do miss the currency converter I had on iGoogle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fee Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'm so dense about these things.I access internet via BTyahoo icon - is this safe? When you open your Browser it should have a Help menu. If you look in there there's usually an opton that says "about xxxxxx" which will tell you what software and version you are using. If it's Internet Explorer then it's worth thinking about changing I use Firefox, I love it and have never had any problems using it to access The Refuge or any other sites except a couple of people's personal home-made web pages where the layout went a bit funny (but they might have been the same in IE).

Thank you - it's IE6.Vaguely remember installing 7 and having huge problems with attachments to e-mails so deleting it and reinstalling 6.Will use Firefox (have it installed already) for banking etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've told it to install them but there's nothing there (and I've looked on the right of the page ). I Googled it this morning and it says that they are unable to sync them yet I find it very odd when they're both organised by the same company I've got billions of bookmarks all organised into their own separate folders on IE because I used bookmarks rather than favourites so that they were easy to access from anywhere - other than Google Chrome apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
