Re: Can spell check be inserted into Notepad, or Wordpad?

Neither MS Office nor MS Works comes standard with Vista.
Only Notepad and Wordpad.

Hello Mike; Thanks for taking the time to respond to my query. If you will
notice at the end of my post I mention that I had decided to simply transfer
to Works. Maybe this is to cryptic as you may know Vista comes standard with
Windows Works. this suite includes a word processing program. I also have on
CD Office 2000 premium and 2007 but choose not to use them. My main goals are
simplicity of use and speed. This is the only reason I asked such an
obviously unanswerable question. I really did not believe that spell check
could be inserted into Notepad or Wordpad by I was hoping. After using the
works processor I find that it is at least sufficient for my needs and much
faster to open then I had previously thought. As for OpenOffice... Thanks,
but no thanks. Again thank you for your help.

If you do not have a word processor which has spell check facilities and you
do not want to pay out for a product like Microsoft Office, consider
downloading Open Office..
