Gang,
I know this isn't strictly the right place to do this, but there is such a
depth of knowledge here I thought I'd chance my arm. I (honestly) have
looked around the net for this but haven't found anything suitable.

I'm looking for a XP application or modification which will allow me to
instantly spell check highlighted text in IE form documents.
I spend some time on forums and bulletin boards on the 'net and so my posts
are often typed into a web form. Obviously, there is no spell checking
available here so I find myself pasting it into Word or a spell checking
website.
What I'd really like to be able to do is; In the web form, highlight the
text, right click and in with cut/copy, there'd be an option called
"Spellcheck" which I could click to do the check.
I notice that with the Google Toolbar installed, right click offers "Google
search" along with cut/copy, so it's not hard to do, does anybody know of a
solution for this?

Thanks for reading, sorry I rambled.

Paul

The following script works for me. I'm using Win XP home, IE6, Word 2000.

Copy the below & paste into notpad. Save as spell.js in your favourites
folder.

To use, enter the text in the web form and select it. Run the script by
clicking on it in your favourites. My script is on the links toolbar for
easy access.

It copies the selected text, runs Word, pastes, does a spell check, copies
the corrected text and asks if you want to paste it.
