spell check


To check the text of your message for proper spelling, just click the "Spell Check" button on the Compose Mail screen.
 
For IE Users:
 
If the My Way Spell Check dictionary does not recognize a word in your email message, that word will be highlighted for you on the Spell Check page. You can correct the spelling yourself by simply typing over what is displayed in the "Change To" box, or choose one of the suggestions provided for you in the "Suggestions" box.
 
Once you've made your correction, click the "Change" button at the bottom of the page to save your change and move on to the next word. (If the highlighted word in question is spelled the way you intended it, just click the "Ignore" button.)
 
After you have made all corrections to your message, a "Spell check complete" pop-up will appear. Click "OK."
 
NOTE: If at any time you wish to abandon all your changes and return to your Compose Mail screen, just click the "Cancel" button. If you want to return to your Compose Mail screen before completing the Spell Check, but wish to save the changes you've already made, click the "Done" button.
 
For Netscape users:
 
If the My Way Spell Check dictionary does not recognize a word in your email message, the word will appear in a box with a question mark next to it. Just click on the question mark to see a list of possible replacements.
 
In the Spell Check suggestion window that pops up, you have three options:
 
 •  You can make a manual correction by typing over what is shown in the top box, then click the "Change" button.
 •  You can select an alternative spelling from the pull-down suggestion list in the center of the pop-up. Just highlight the word you want and hit the "Change" button.
 •  If you don't wish to make any changes, just click on the "Leave unchanged" link or close the pop-up window.

Your changes, if any, will immediately be shown on the main Spell Check page. When you are finished spell checking your message, click the "Done" button to return to the "Compose Mail" screen with your spelling corrections in place. (Click "Cancel" to abandon any changes you have already made and to return to your "Compose Mail" screen.)
