How would you approach the following?

[Joe_Fox]

I've got a table consisting of two columns.

In one column is the correct usage/spelling of a word and in the second column is the various other incorrect usages.

e.g.

Colour     | Color
Neighbour  | Neighbor
Capitalise | Capitalize

What is needed is a program/application that allows users to check they are using the correct spelling for each word. So maybe it's a quick look up, maybe not.

Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe a little bit of javascript that can perform this task?

Do you sit up all night Joe thinking these feckers up ?

Roughly? from behind??

I would approach it by employing someone who knows what the feck they are doing, rather than desperately posting questions on an internet forum

and of course you never used to do that Joe...the fecking sauce of the boy:icon_roll

 

[Joe_Fox]

all sorts, Word, outlook mainly though.
I think they want it as a reference though, but a nice reference rather than a list.

I had more important things to do in my youth than learn about punctuation.

I'm a changed man Duzza - no longer a posting whore. That role has been taken up by someone else.

you're reinventing the wheel then, they both have their own spell checkers

with either you could write an 'add in' in VBA

i know XLAs only need VBA, but by the looks of it Outlook wants a .COM which would require VB6 and er...good knowledge of VB


if someone asked me how they could have a bespoke Spellchecker for each app and maintain the list, by response would be:-

go and ask IT and they'll tell you to **** off

 

[Joe_Fox]

Ok, I'll do the same then, cheers Darth.
