Using the spellcheckers attached to different programs, means you have
to update each one individually. Best advice is to use a global

Knowing that you produce a website, may I advise caution with tabs. HTML does
not recognise a tab and your formatting can end up pretty well anywhere!
I don't think V7 is any different to V6 when it comes to tabs, but then for the
above reason I don't use them, so have never looked.
Mary,
You see the same flaw I see with Gene's method and no, unfortunately the table
fix was not included in version 7; however, I am told that it's been proposed,
at least, to the programmers. Maybe in version 8, or 9, or sometime. I would
