Oh, yeah. I don't even both spell checking my emails and hope that all

are doing the same thing I am: answering in a hurry and not trying to

impress...??? However, it would be good if we got into the habit of

always doing things right, huh?!

Val, I hate making those stupid mistakes when typing e-mails also, which is why

I usually just delete rather than read my own posts. The other thing I hate is

that the macros, etc., won't work. I was just typing to a friend and started to

just type cp, but then remembered that it would not expand to chest pain.

Anyway, one thing that you can do when you have a somewhat long post and you

want it to be correct is to go ahead and type it in Word. Then copy it and

paste it into the e-mail. I don't tend to do this, but it would be helpful,

especially since I don't know of many e-mail programs that have a copy of

Stedman's, so spellcheck can be a real pain in e-mail. Just my 2 cents.

Do you all find yourself writing these emails, not having your Stedman's or a

quick correct spellchecker there for you?....I hate writing emails that are long

because when I am typing in my WP, things like teh automatically change to the,

plus I get the red underline when something is spelled wrong...so then I write

and send the email...and find a mistake and think...oooooh....they must think

I'm an idiot...lol...anyway had to share that w/you all. Happy New Year.

Just wanted to respond to Margaret's post about typing in Word and then

copying and pasting into e-mail. You can save yourself that copying/pasting

step. Type your post in Word and, while still in your document, click on

File-Send to Mail Recipient (either as an attachment or just plain old " send

to, " which is what you would do for this group since we don't send each

other attachments). When you do this step, the window opens with the " to " ,

" cc " , " bc " , and " subject " lines. You can click on the " To " icon and your

address book will open just like it would in e-mail. Once you have filled

in those lines, just click " Alt " and " S " to send your message. It goes

through just like your e-mail would in Outlook Express. By using Word, you

can have access to your spellchecker(s) and expander(s).
