Mozilla
Firefox 2.0 now has an Internet forms
spellchecker. It is strongly
recommended that you use this browser
when you are writing or editing
flashcards. The word dictionary is
stored in C:\Program Files\Mozilla
Firefox\Dictionaries. You can also add
words to the dictionary. In the bulk
editor, misspelled words will be
underlined in red in the same fashion
that they are in Microsoft Word. If a
red underlined word is spelled
correctly, place your cursor over it,
right click it, and choose "add." The
word will be added to your dictionary.
In any event, place your cursor over the
underlined word and right click for a
context menu of options.
Several websites have generously taken
