Google Chrome

[Brengirl]

I have just downloaded chrome and at the moment cannot make head nor tail of it. For a start the spellcheck just tells me I have made a mistake but doesn't correct. That's not a lot of good when you obviously can't spell.
Who else uses it?

[Bigmallly]

I use Chrome & love it, I'm at a loss as to what you mean re: spell check.

[Brengirl]

If I were to spel somthing rong it highlights the mistake. Where does it give you the correct spelling?

[Bigmallly]

Chrome is a web browser like Internet Explorer, Firefox etc. That's why I'm confused. Maybe I need help with this one Bren, sorry.

[Bigmallly]

Just a thought.........are you talking about the squiggly lines under the words when searching?.........if so, when you right click on the word it should give you options as in MS Word.

[scarey55]

I use it too and I don't have a problem. If you right click on the word it will give you a choice of possibles. I am looking to see if it does auto-correct which is what I think you're looking for.

Sorry Bigmally beat me to it

[Brengirl]

I think you both have been a great help. When the box opened there were so many options I did not notice the corrected word. Thanks

and another thing....I use the printer a lot to print selections of recipes etc. There is no 'print selection' option grrrrrrrrrrrr

[Bigmallly]

Ctrl+P usually works.

[zazen999]

Do you have to select the selection first before it allows you to print any selection [firefox won't let you select print selection until you have selected].....

Nightmare sentence; but you get my drift?

[Brengirl]

Ctrl P opens the dialogue but you are unable to tick 'selection'. I have googled their forum and it is just not available. You have to print the whole article...what a waste of ink and paper!!
I have returned to Internet Explorer. It suits me

[Bigmallly]

That reminds me Zaz.......after all the ravings about Firefox, I decided to download it last night........where are your previous "Favourites" / "Bookmarks" kept. Chrome took them from my ie so I could access them but Firefox didn't ask for that option so I could not find them.

Sorry BM - I have no idea - it's been years since I imported any favorites from IE - but you get a bookmarks bar where they all sit under the address pane.

BM - when I changed from IE to FF it asked me if I wanted to import my bookmarks, you bet ya sweet butt I do FF matey as I have (had!) tons of the blighters!

It brought some across and never gave me the chance to go back and get the rest - I was a little cross, but then I saw it as a clear-out

FF has been excellent for me with access to this glorious hallowed forum, I had many problems running my VPN and accessing Vine at the same time through IE
