[FX.php List] Teachers need spell checker

[Steve Winter]

Hi Jonathan,

 

In that case, no issue, since Safari also has built in spell checking (at
least it does in the PC version which I have right in front of me, so I’d be
99% certain that it will on Mac) which just needs to be enabled...

 

HYPERLINK "http://8help.osu.edu/2143.html"http://8help.osu.edu/2143.html has
useful information on what various browsers do and don’t do and how to make
use of them...

 

Cheers

Steve

Thanks Steve!

 

This school district happens to work on the Mac side, so it would be 

Safari.  Asking them to use FireFox wouldn't be un-reseaonable it 

they want the benefit of spell-checking.

 

 

I will check out your recommendations.

 

Thanks

 

J
