Spell Check in X-Pro

**dduran** · 20 December 2006, 01:55 AM

With all the new functions with Pro it would make life a lot easier. There really is no need for word if this program has spell check. Why open another program when Pro can do it all. I can't image that spell checker would bog down the system that much but what do I know I'm not a software designer.

Anyway, the previous post don't really answer my question about a plug-in, is there one?

Albacore,
I have been using TinySpell for a while now mainly with small word and text processors. It works like a charm with X Extreme and I am sure it will work with Pro. It seems to work with anything and once set up you forget it until you make a mistake and it goes "ping". It checks spelling in whatever program you are in. For example I was using Excel this evening and it worked there as usual.
It is a a great little program.

I don't want XXPro slowed down either.

I do pleanty of things in word before importing them into Xara, like typing in extended characters and spell-checking. That doesn't mean that I want to do them there, just that I have had to.

If (as suggested in the original post) this were added as a plugin, users could choose to load the plugin or not.

Just my thoughts on the subject.
