As you’ve probably noticed, Dave’s posts are often riddled with spelling errors. That’s because he refuses to use Firefox, which features a built-in spell-checker.
Internet Explorer offers no such amenity, so every time Dave composes a post in WordPress, adds a comment to a post, writes something in a message forum, or the like, embarrassing spelling errors are all but assured.
Enter IE7Pro, our all-time favorite Internet Explorer add-on. Among its myriad of awesome features: a built-in spell-checker, much like the one in Firefox.
The checker works as you type, highlighting misspelled words with a red underline. Right-click any such word to bring up a list of possible corrections, then click the properly spelled word to swap it in.
That’s just the tip of the IE7Pro iceberg. Although some of this awesome tool’s capabilities, like inline search, have been incorporated into Internet Explorer 8 (which it now supports), it’s worth installing for the spell-checker alone. And the price is as right as ever: It’s still free.
