Add a spelling checker to all your applications.

few flaws
HappyHarry2August 28, 2006
Pros
looks good on the surface
Cons
But words in between ' ' and red lined. Some words which are spelt correctly are red lined as in the example, the word application. Capitalize first letter option seen to leave bad charter returns.
Summary
Good, But still buggy even at version 5.0

Summary
This is an activeX control...That means it is intended for use by PROGRAMMERS who are developing new software. It can't be used with your Microsoft Word, you idiots. If you are a developer and you are looking for a spell checking component for your Visual Basic program, try this. It is better than WSpell that's for sure.
Not at all user friendly for non-experts

Pros
Cons
Summary
18 min download at 33.6k. Could not use it immediately. Not apparent that it could be used in Windows. Only programming use apparent. Requires further download of dictionary from Polar's website. There is not clear indication of what the program will do or its compatibility for spell checking in Wordprocessor programs.
They have a DLL too!

Gang, don't bash the OCX because you can't add it to your app. You want a DLL, and they have one of those too! It works great!
It's an activex control

Pros
Cons
Summary
The reason you can't use it with a word processsor is because it is an activex component used for development (hence the technical lingo %-) and not a plug-in.

I could not even figure out how to get the program to work with my word processor. Uses advanced computer lingo that is confusing.
