Spell check is an important thing to have turned on your computer. It allows you to see what you have spelled wrong as you are typing.



Some people do not know how to turn spell check on so in todays tutorial I am going to teach you just that.


 Internet Explorer: IE does not have a spell check built in but there are some workarounds. Either you copy/paste everything into for example Microsoft Word so that can spell check for you or check out IESpell.

Firefox: Go to Tools-Options-Advanced-General-Click on 'Check My Spelling As I Type'. Now in your address bar type in about:config . A warning might appear just click OK. Type in spellcheck . You should see a result called  layout.spellcheckDefault . Double click on it and change one to two. Restart your browser.

Opera: Opera is in the same boat as Internet Explorer. To have spell check on you have to go and use a program called ASpell I am not sure how to use it but you can always learn.

Google Chrome: Click on Wrench-Options-Under the hood-Click on "Change fonts and language settings"
Click "Languages"-Make sure "Spell Check" is ticked.

Safari: Click in a text field. On the menu bar, go to Edit-Spelling and Grammar-Check Spelling While Typing.
