I wonder if I'm missing something I should know

I am a terrible speller - DW claims it was because I wasn't taught phonics in grade school. I use spell check on every single post I make. Otherwise, you folks would think I was pretty dumb.

Most of the text I add in Elements is only a few words. But sometimes it is enough to make a typo likely and/or just a flat out misspelling. I am not aware of any way to run spell check on a text layer.

I sure wish there was one. I keep a dictionary on my desk and still mess up.

ytsuR, era uoy cixelsyd ekil em? oops sorry ... I meant to ask... are you dyslexic like me? I've always used that excuse for my poor spelling. Thing is, I've gotten much better at it as time goes by. I'm also cross dominant, color blind (red-green), and have a lazy eye. It's a wonder I took up photography...

Oh my gosh do I wish there was a way to do that in Elements - I'm not planning on upgrading to 6.0, but if spell check would have been included I would have done it in a heart beat!

Every book I have ever had printed as had at least one typo/spelling error in it. Even when I have had 2-3 other people proof read it. Including my hyper-critical teacher sister.

So, Gary, how are at traffic lights? do you have to remember which color is on top and which is on bottom.?

Rusty,

Why not type out your text in Word (or similar programme) first and run the spell check before typing in Elements? And remember that no spellcheck is fautless - for instance it won't pick up that you've misspelt 'their' as 'there'!!

You can never tell what they're thinking either...

Rusty, welcome to the club, LOL. I have to translate from Spanish to English and then make sure that it is properly spell. I usually if luky end up with Spanglish.

Gary,
