Re: [NTLK] Dictionaries and 'check spelling as you type'

I don't know of a dictionary for Notes, but Works does
have a spellcheck.
I use a workaround for my most common misspelled
words. In Notes, I use the expansion feature to
replace words that I misspell most frequently with the
correct spelling.
The difficulty in Works is that unless you have the
recognition package, you cannot to HWR...
I forget what the package is called...but I'm sure
it's in the archives somewhere.
