I'm using MLO as my project list to distribute to my boss and my
staff. My spelling is questionable at best. It would save me a lot
of time if MLO had a spell checker.

This got discussed a while ago: http://groups.google.com/group/myLifeOrganized/browse_thread/thread/c2538f58a33e9c13/5dde11653539e187?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=spell+checker#5dde11653539e187

My objection I don't want yet another dictionary to maintain on my computer: MS Office, Firefox, ....

In addition how will better spelling in your tasks or notes help productivity?

Cheers
Mark

It would help as I publish my reports to my bos and subordinates, and
I don't want them to know how illiterate I am. There for I have to
copy it to word so it will find the mispelled words for me.

You definitely want to consider a general solution then, not a
seperate one for every windows program you use.
So you have to train or extend your dictionary only once.

A quick google hit of what I mean (I don't know this program, but
there are more like this one):

I am just now setting up MLO again, I used it several years ago until technology overtook me, but I am back now and would also like to see spell checking capability in MLO.  Or does anyone know of a 3rd party solution that they would like to recommend?

Thanks,
Dwight...

If there is a 3rd party solution that works inside of MLO, that would be great.  I wouldn't be interested in cut/paste into the spell checker then back.  Reference the objection of having additional dictionaries to worry about, you could always have the option of not downloading the dictionaries.  That is what several applications allow.

Thanks Again,
Dwight...

TinySpell works for me too, especially since you can set it to only run on MLO. This way it does not conflict with other checkers and apps.
