Spell checking function is available in all popular modern browsers.
Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera built-in spell checkers work well with
KMP. Spell checking is enabled by default in these browsers. There are also third-party plug-ins for Internet Explorer with spell checking function.
All spell checkers in common browsers work in similar way. If spell checker thinks that you've misspelled, it underlines misspelled word with a red line (solid, wavy, or dotted). When you right-click on that word, you may see some suggestions in popup menu.
Usually you can teach the spell checker a new word by clicking "Add to Dictionary".
If your browser doesn't seem to check spelling, see the instructions below.
Please note that some spell checkers work with text areas only (text fields with multiple rows) so single-row text fields may not be spell checked.
Give up using Internet Explorer (especially 6 and 7 versions) if you can. You will get better user experience with KMP with fast browsers like Chrome or Safari, or at least Firefox. You also do not need to install anything for spell checking in these browsers.
Internet Explorer
To enable spell checking simply download the IE7Pro plug-in from the official website and install it. Installation process is simple - just click "Next" until plugin is installed.
This plugin works with Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8. It includes a set of modules including spell checking module, ad blocker, and others.
It will open the Internet Explorer window after installation and you can see its icon on the statusbar. It means that plugin is installed.
Open any page with a text area (multi-line text field) and type in a word with a typo.
You can see that has been underlined and when you right-click on it you see a list of suggestions, the "Add To Dictionary" option, and other options for spell check configuration. "Spell Languages" menu allows you to load additional language modules.
Each time you want to spell check an article, just right-click and select "Spell Check This Field Forcibly".
If spell check function doesn't work, check if IE7Pro plugin is enabled.
- Open Tools -> Internet Options -> Manage Add-ons
- Check if Browser Extension "IE7Pro Preferences" and "IE7Pro Grab and Drag" are enabled when you can't find IE7Pro on Toolbar.
- Check if Browser Help Class "IE7Pro BHO" is enabled when you can't find IE7Pro on Status Bar.
If you still have some problems with running this plugin, refer to official IE7Pro FAQ.

If some spell checker options are diabled like it is shown on the next screenshot, it means that spell-checking is disabled. Click the "Language settings...".
I'll see the spelling configuration window. Set checkbox on "Check spelling" and click OK. You can also select language for spell checker.
