The program "Spell_It.htm" when installed using the program "Install_Spell_It.vbs" will add a "Spelling" action to the context menu of Internet Explorer.  If the user right clicks some selected test while using Internet Explorer and clicks "Spelling", the selected text will be written to a background instance of MS Word, checked for spelling and a corrected version of the selection will be placed in the clipboard.  A message box will alert the user of the status of the text.  Ctrl+V can be used to replace the selected text in the browser with the corrected version.  If MS Word has not been used in the current Windows session, the first spelling check will take a few extra seconds but subsequent uses will be fairly quick.

While this program uses the same spell-check mechanism of the Spell.vbs program available on PC911, it neither requires spell.vbs to be installed or interferes with it; it is an adjunct.  The user may choose to install one or the other or both.

REQUIREMENTS:  This script requires Internet Explorer version 5 or beyond.  The user must also have Microsoft Word installed.  Proper installation requires that the Windows Scripting Host has not been removed or disabled.

INSTALLATION:  Assure that the three files; Spell_It.htm, Install_Spell_It.vbs, and Uninstall_Spell_It.vbs are all present in the same folder.  Any folder on the drive where the Windows folder resides is fine, including the desktop.  Double click the script, Install_Spell_It.vbs, to install and a message box stating "Done" will appear when the installation is complete.  Copies of Spell_It.htm and the uninstaller will have been made in the web subfolder of your Windows folder so you may delete the copies used for installation if you wish.  However, it might be prudent to save them along with this ReadMe file for future reference.  Note that if you didn't have a web subfolder of the Windows folder before, you will now.  Should you ever uninstall, this folder will be left alone by the uninstall routine and you would need to deal with it separately.

TO UNINSTALL:  Open the Add/Remove Programs applet in the control panel.  Select the list item, "Spelling_on_IE_ContextMenu", and click the "Uninstall" button.  The option will be removed from your Internet Explorer context menu, all registry settings will be removed, including those that put the option in Add/Remove Programs, and the file Spell_It.htm will be deleted from the web folder.  The copy of the uninstall script, "Uninstall_Spell_It.htm" will be abandoned in the web subfolder of your Windows folder.  It will not harm anything, including future installations of the option but you may choose to manually delete it if you want all traces gone.
