| many of you know that its best to write reviews in a porgram that has spell check so you can change any errors before posting it up. well some of you may not have use of a program and i've done a bit of research and found a very good site where you can write or paste your review too and do a spell check. the best i have found is - http://www.orangoo.com/spell/http://www.thesolutioncafe.com/public-spell-checker.html is also a ok one to use or theres many others out there if u want to look urself hope this helps any of you writers on dooyoo or ciao.

Well that's basically the same thing, it's just not endorsed by Microsoft. | |

| The newest version of Mozilla Firefox (a web browser) has a built in spell checker. I'm finding it a fantastic tool. I always write reviews in Word, but it checks my comments for me, and this post too. | |

You can take my word for it. Oh yeah, I hate using Word. I should really use a spell checker, but does anyone else prepare their reviews on a text file? | |

| Yeah I do, I always type into Word before publishing. Not only is it about spell checking, but also means I can start and come back a few days later and I know it'll be there etc | |

| Me too, it takes me the usual three days to write one review on average, so no other way really is appliable. But I never spellcheck by using software. | |

| I actually meant the text file, .txt you know? As I like to say, Word is too slow, the text is the sex. | |

| I don't like to use WordPad (is that what you mean, to make .txts?) because of the lack of a spell checker. At first I always got annoyed that Word underlines your mistakes, but now I can't live without it! | |

| Yeah that's what I was on about. The problem I have with WordPad though is scrolling and copying and pasting. When I paste the review, there is all the spacing which I then have to delete. I could possibly turn off auto-formatting next time.
I really can't stand Word underlining names! | |
