Sorry! I did not say that the spell checker was embedded!
Embedded spellcheckers can be an advantage but the advantage is only with that forum that has the spellchecker and is only available to check the spelling on those messages/posts.
Most spellcheckers do not check spelling as you type!!!!!! This one does!
I will get together a tutorial, hopefully it will help.
Occasionally you need to check spelling in an application that does not include a spelling checker and you don't want to launch your word processor just for that. This is when tinySpell becomes handy. It is a small utility that allows you to easily and quickly check and correct the spelling in any Windows application.
tinySpell can watch your typing on the fly and alert you whenever it detects a misspelled word.
It can also check the spelling of text that you copy to the clipboard.
tinySpell installs itself in the system tray for easy access.
While you are typing, tinySpell watches the text you enter and whenever it detects a misspelled word it beeps and shows a spelling tip, and the tinySpell icon in the system tray turns from white to yellow .

When the program is installed it puts a tinySpell icon …..
in the system tray.......
There is a yellow box that appears to right of the misspelled word (I could not get it shown in this tutorial)
...now.....click on the yellow tinySpell icon in the system tray to see suggested spelling.
NOTE: One thing is that it may only suggest the incorrect letters in the word that makes it misspelled and if that happens pick the right choice.
Is it the best choice? No, but try it and maybe we will find a better one soon!It can always be removed via the “Add Remove Programs”, if it does not work the way you like!
