Where did you originally find this software? And what is it called?

[lemming350]

I honestly don't remember where I found the software but I can say that it is 100% freeware

Opera 10 has the same in-line spell checker and word choices if that helps (see here)

Also there is a program called WordWeb (~17 mb) that will add dictionary and thesaurus to almost any application, but I didn't see the practicality of making it an addon since it is so huge

I wanted to know if it was possible to install the spell checker on an existing Windows installation. The addon replaces files in the source. I was looking for a traditional installer.

Entries.ini points to Angel Writer at the Angelic Software website.

Not anymore. It is a svcpack addon now.

V1 failed because wordpad.inf was signed and would not copy the 2 dictionary files over

the silent installer copies the extra dictionaries in at T13

Just an amateur, but my end user needs have brought me to this forum. I need an automatic word pad spell checker, one that underlines words for correction after I've finished the note or document.
The only one I've found is the one from mediafire listed above.

Problem is I've unzipped the mediafire download to give an "Entries" notepad document and a 7z Setup SFX file, and the 7z Setup SFX file doesn't open. Any hints on how to complete the installation?

Double-clicking the SFX file should do the trick.

Cheers

Thanks, for some reason I had to open the SFX file and then separately unzip the files inside.
I like the idea of a wordpad with spell check and the spell checker works well.
But I'll have to get used to the crowded command icon section and the metric ruler at the top in this wordpad version.
