Postage Stamp Chat Board & Stamp Bulletin Board Forum
 

THE most useful free software on the web.

When typing messages in bulletin boards like this, or on line forms to your bank, or an airline, or a government department or whatever, your Word or Outlook Express spell checker of course does not work.

The answer is to download this little beauty:


www.download.com/ieSpell/3000-12512_4-1 ... d=10603528

Safe, fast, and sits on your tool-bar for fast use. Take my word for it. A great move.

I have couple of friends who, when talking to me, keep saying "You know" every second word. In fact, if people "knew", it is superfuous to say "You know".

Glen often says "Trust me!" In fact, if we did, it is also superfluous to say "Trust me!"

I am in a cheeky mood this morning, Glen. I am just having a go at you.

Don't get stroppy Glen. I was only pulling your leg! Have you received the old, grey, army blankets yet for the stuff I ordered yesterday?

Trust me!! They will keep you warm!

By the way I still have not received them. How long did you say it will take you to wrap them up?

Do you want me to come and help you dispatching stuff?

Dear All
Is there any way to post data in tabulated form. Because list in above system don't work properly. can we post some pdf formats on stampboards. pdf is a good format and acceptable throughout for viewing a file.

You can't post the pdf image itself but using a SUPERB free program called www.snagit.com you can post pages or extracts from PDFs here.

I use it for here EVERY day.

Thanks but when I checked it is not free only a trial version for 30 days validity is free otherwise it is a $50 software.

If you read French you can get a free version forever.

google it.

If you use the free version for a month you will know how it works.

Now the French version is also not free. I am using the free trial version. Thanks

There are tips here on how to do the jb anyway, and also other free workarounds -

============

To capture the screen in windows without additional software:

Alt+print screen will capture just the active window. After that press:

window-r (hold the window key and press r for start->run)
mspaint <enter>
ctrl-v
ctrl-s

then you're saving your screenshot to your hard drive. You can edit the screenshot to just the area you want before pressing ctrl-s if you want. The whole process takes about 5-10 seconds once you're familiar with it.

Or these links seem to work well - from the site shown above =

Fireshot Plugin for IE
Fireshot plugin for FIrefox.


Fireshot is a free alternative that integrates into IE and or Firefox. The editor is similar (not the sam) to Snagit.

I prefer Snagit, but for our corporate environment, I had to find something cheaper than Snagit.

Thanks for your kind support.

Did spell check help here? You be the judge!

For best effect, please read this aloud.

CANDIDATE FOR A PULLET SURPRISE
I have a spelling checker.
It came with my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.
Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished inn it's weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.
Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know faults with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.
Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped words fare as hear.
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.
Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting want too pleas.

I can't work out this thread, but if it has anything to do with spelling, maybe someone can help with 'plateable': 'platable'. GUTTERS & my spellchecks don't accept either.
So should I be reduced to 'able to be plated'?

Only members in the continent of mangled words would ever use platable anyway but my ie.spell has now now been told both are OK.

Very interesting, my Webster's New Reference Library, Dictionary, does not recognise 'plateable' or 'platable' in any form. The spell checker has a fit.

As a new member who just joined stampboards, I installed the iespell add-on for Internet Explorer and am very pleased with how easy it was to install and use. Thanks for suggesting this great tool.

Hi Glen,

Thanks for the link. I was a little harsh in my e-mail to you but this should do the trick.

I much prefer FireFox, so ieSpell is out... but I looked into a few alternatives.

I just installed, and am testing as I type here, the FireFox plug-in called "After The Deadline". It can be found via a search in the FireFox "Add-ons" dialog... or you could go to this link to get it...

http://atdfirefox.wordpress.com/

If it doesn't work out or causes problems, I'll find another one and report back.

Hopefully you will note an improvement. Not perfection, as occasionally the problem will be the size of my thumbs on my phone or my tablet.

Question.

Has anyone ever considered getting a basic education

And before I get hammered with a ton of bricks; wot the hell is rong wid a bit of self-aprazel.

Unless I deliberately spell something incorrectly - so that even the U.S. version gets its feelings hurt - most machines will continue to believe that I know better than they do. (This may change soon - they're being taught how to communicate with each other, and develop 'third-person' concepts. )

Okay, keyboards are getting smaller - turn the pin-head around - and anyone who types more than 130 w.p.m. is going to get the occasional word wrong. My biggest beef is, as it always has been, that most *txtrs* seem to labour under the misapprehension that they are living in the first century B.C., where vowels were irrelevant, and everyone knew the codex.

In twenty years time, are we going to need another rosetta stone?

Actually if you use Google Chrome Browser, spell check is built in, though is US spelling ("Industrialization" instead of "Industrialisation" - the real way to spell it )

I just used ie spell checker in my last post.

In the past the incorrect spelt word was highlighted in blue now it's not, which makes it hard to find the misspelt word in your post.

Has anybody else found this or can it be corrected.

Best regards David

I know this isn't exactly the place on Stampboards to post this. There was a "Glen Stephens" (I think from Australia) who wrote a lot of columns and books on shortwave radio and shortwave radio listening. He also did programs for the various international shortwave radio stations about shortwave listening. Giving frequencies and program details. Without him I probably wouldn't have heard Radio Gabonaise from Gabon in Africa. Or the external broadcasting station of Papua-New Guinea. Are you in any way related to him? Just wondering...

I also use Firefox. I did not see your report back with a recommendation for another one, so is it that this one worked?

As it is, I get notified when a word spelling is not recognized via a squiggly red underlining; but there is no recommendation on what to use to correct it. Will that add-on you mentioned do that?

If you use Firefox, you should have in-built spell checking - they have numerous languages to download, so you won't need a plugin.

I have a natural aversion to IE (although in the day of IE4, it did absolutely kill off Netscape 4) because I run Linux on my machines. Except for the iDevices. There are just so many nice web browsers now to be bothered with IE. If Firefox doesn't tickle your fancy, try Chrome, or SeaMonkey (which is a suite of web/email/editor, and the legacy of Netscape), or if you want the absolute speediest browser out there and are so old-school that you think images are some new-fangled nonsense, try Pine.

You know, you know ...

Reminds me of the Fawlty Towers sketch, when Sybil says "I know... I know... I know... Oh, I know!" and Basil Fawlty retorts: "Then why is she telling you?"
