My IPad spell checker isn’t very stamp collector savvy. Cancel becomes cancer, Perkins dang that is perfins, and so on! LoL silly thing! I’ve forgotten to proofread messages a few times and ended up sending gibberish! Embarrassing!! You too?

I know that all too well also! I wish one could as easily add words to the dictionary on iPad or iPhone, like on my iMac!
Apple Apple Apple! Just some of their things make me shake my head.

Spellscheckers can be a pain, but I sure wish I had one in my pagemaker software. I can't count the number of pages I have had to correct and reprint after I though I was finished. Don StampHinger |

stamphinger , can you paste text into your pagemaker software? If so, you might try entering the text in a program that has spellcheck and then pasting it into the other.

Negative, I've tried that, but it just occurred to me, I can do the reverse. That is, I can copy my pagemaker write-up text and paste it into a Word page and run the spellchecker there and then go back and make any needed corrections. A little cumbersome, but it will work.
Duh! How long has it taken me to think of this! Thanks for posting your suggestion!
