I once received an underline that was red for misspelt words, no longer. How do I get this back?

Which application is/was this in ?

It's gone on this site, and other's that had that ability.

Hello CMomma !

What "underline" ?
What OS are you running ?
What browser and wordprocessor are you using ?
Did you recently do any upgrading to your computer, specially to your wordprocessor or browser?

In general : check the EXTRA or OPTIONAL tab and see if language / spelling check is "on".

Just let me know by personal AMHD mail (click on my handle and follow instructions) and I will return here to reply.
If this helps solving your problem, than please rate this reply.

Success !

The red spell check underline. I'm using Windows XP, and ff. It was here a week ago, and before. And now no more. What to do? And yes, the spell check is on...

BTW, when trying to give you a greenie, this is the message that I got...
"You have attempted to view a Post that no longer is available. Please click one of the links in the menu to continue."

Yeah, FireFox has an automatic spell checker! (Shame IE doesn't have the same!)

Using the spell checker (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+spell+checker)

That tells you how to turn it off, but it's the same process to turn it on again!

*edit*

Also, I've just read if you've just re-installed FF it may not work because it doesn't download the much-needed dictionary with it! Don't fret though, you can do that here;

Could I have a virus?

Sorry, I just added a bit more to my post as you re-posted... you could try that too?

I didn't just redownload it...

In the post box, right click and see if "spell check this field" is checked. If not, check it.

TBH, you really should upgrade to FF3 as it's awesome ;)

As already mentioned you need to ensure you have the correct dictionary installed as well.

In tools > options > advanced make sure Check spelling as I type is checked.

Hm. It sounds silly, but I have to check... are you typing jflkajkfwaf THEN pressing spacebar?

Jfghfhghj yup

Again, another silly q. have you tried unchecking spellcheck then typing. Then rechecking spellcheck?

Is that, "no I haven't tried" or "yes, I have tried, and it didn't work ISF...idiot"

is that, "no I haven't tried" or "yes, I have tried, and it didn't work ISF...idiot"BOTH, as of now...

Doh!

I didn't just redownload it...



Have you tried system restore (to an earlier date)?

For whatever reason my spell check has stopped working as a result of something AOL loaded, some update - I work in Wordperfect on an XP - so I just went back to an earlier date and that fixed it.

I also occasionally have a problem - which the computer person can't explain - if I type a document, spell check, add to it and spell check again - it won't pick up an errors in the additional text.

In that case I put the edit on another screen and then cut and paste - and it doesn't happen all the time.
