I use it almost every day. I'm a bad speller and the thesaurus helps also. If you come close on the spelling it will guess what you really want and make suggestions. tc :-) ps: had to look thesaurus up

Finds acronyms also...all this information includes links which would be too much trouble to include...overkill I'm sure, but I do like the program. example HTML Hypertext Markup Language HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the set of "markup" symbols or codes inserted in a file intended for display on a World Wide Web browser. The markup tells the Web browser how to display a Web page's words and images for the user. The individual markup codes are referred to as elements (but many people also refer to them as tags). HTML is a standard recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and adhered to by the major browsers, Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape's Navigator, which also provide some additional non-standard codes. The current version of HTML is HTML 4. However, both Internet Explorer and Netscape implement some features differently and provide non-standard extensions. Web developers using the more advanced features of HTML 4 may have to design pages for both browsers and send out the appropriate version to a user. Significant features in HTML 4 are sometimes described in general as dynamic HTML. What is sometimes referred to as HTML 5 is an extensible form of HTML called XHTML. Selected Links The World Wide Web Consortium's section on Hypertext Markup Language is the best place to begin understanding the origin, history, and latest status of HTML. Here is the official W3C HTML 4.0 Specification. One of the best places to start is NCSA's A Beginner's Guide to HTML, which has recently been updated for HTML 4.0. There are a number of tools available to help you create HTML files (Web pages). Among the most popular editors are Brooklyn North's HTML Assistant Pro (which this file was created with), Hotdog, and HoTMetaL. A new class of tool lets you create pages without having to be directly concerned with the HTML tags. These include Adobe's Pagemill and Microsoft's FrontPage. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tc
