Do you have Word?

You could just type your message into Word first, then spell and grammar check it, then copy and paste it onto the boards.

Just a thought, and if you have it, it's already free!

HTH!

A word to the wise: the grammar checker in Word often makes bad suggestions and highlights things that actually have nothing wrong with them. I have the students in my editing class turn it off because it confuses more than it helps. There are a couple of add-on grammar checkers out there, but so far I have not found one I think is acceptably accurate and helpful (would love to hear about it if any of you have discovered one!)

Donna,

You write very clearly and I never have any trouble understanding you!

'course, maybe that's just because we're often on the same wavelength!
