"Fibromyalgia and Chronic Myofacial Pain" (Jno)

MDJunction to me

RickEJ"I was diagnosed 8 years ago with Bi-Polar II.
With no support in my area I searched the web for help, after two years I stumbled on to MDJ.
The bi-polar II group has been my life line since 12/26/2009.
dizzyb my friend, you are not forgotten!

Well, that would explain why I've never figured out the spell check! I don't have a right click Smile I don't have a left click.

I just have click Smile

Yes it is your browser doing the spellchecking for you. You can visit this link
Code:

 <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3497" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3497</a>

and that will take you to the US English add-on for Mozilla Firefox. Once you load this dictionary you should see it be MUCH more accurate than before. Also you can right click on a word and choose add to dictionary (just like in most word proccessors) and have it learn words you use and know are spelled correctly. I also HIGHLY suggest you check out the Mozilla Add-Ons site for add-ons (FREE) they have TONS. You can have the weather placed in your browser or even PHPBB (bulletin board code as used on this site) so as you are typing a post you are given code corrections and more options on formatting your post. They also have ad blockers website ip grabbers all kinds of stuff (yes, even games). Just Visit:

Code:

 <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/</a>

for the front page. Feel free to use their search or check out the multitude of categories. For those of you without Mozilla's Firefox I HIGHLY recommend you check it out. It is much faster than IE, much more highly configurable, (and at the same time easier to use).

Finally if needed just visit

Code:

 <a href="Http://www.mozilla.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Http://www.mozilla.com</a>

and on the front page click the big green Download Firefox - Free button and just open the downloaded file and click next next next all the way through setup and finish button at end and it will install just fine for those who are not tech inclined the default options work well. Any computer questions folks feel free to PM me or start threads and I can answer. I am a certified computer tech (CompTIA A+ Lifetime member) and I have been on computers since 3 years old (fixing them since 5 and now 26).

Keep in mind Fibromyalgia is a medical word and most apps have standard english dictionaries. You can download a medical dictionary for Firefox here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6526, IE I am not so sure (and WHY oh WHY use IE get Firefox from www.mozilla.com and stop using IE (only need it for windows update site in XP (Vista uses a built-in update app seperate from the browser)

You can do left and right click on a Mac because I have one. I just need to remember how I did it. You have to change a setting to get it. For spell check you just download Firefox for Mac. It works just the same. I love it and would never go back to IE.

for right click on macs you should hold the command key (it has that weird square looking dealie) or the apple key while clicking the mouse button.

Read the following page on how to use "right click" on Mac OSX http://www.macinstruct.com/node/66

Tina--If you go to System Preferences and then go to Keyboard and Mouse, then click on Mouse at the top of the box. You'll see a picture of your mouse. On the left the drop-down menu should say "Primary Button". That's left click. On the right the drop-down should say "Secondary Button". That's right click. Does that help?

Nope, I just get tracking speed and double click speed.

Thanks for trying, guys. I'll just live in a clickless world!
