    Default Spellcheck for IE8?

    Okay, I'm trying to play nice with IT wishes, since my pc was just upgraded. They asked me to take off Chrome and Firefox (might as well tape my fingers together, too). So, I've been trying to play nice and use their browser of choice (IE8... don't look at me).

    I searched for spellcheck settings, and didn't see any, and I googled and it appears that IE does not have spellcheck capabilities. I have seen references to plug-ins that will give that functionality, but, I was a little hesistant to start clicking and install something weird.

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable spellcheck add-on for Internet Explorer?

    Thank you.

    Actually, hades froze over and my admin rights were already reinstated...
    But, I'm going to be nice and TRY to get by with just IE... see how long my sanity can take it.

    No suggestions for IE?



    (as an aside... our email client just got upgraded, the desktop client and the email portal... and now? the email portal throws errors and has to run in 'compatibility mode' because our 'standard' version of IE is not supported love it.)
