[Ashley Bramlett]

spell check is in your word processor; it does not have to do with  windows 
7. Using Word, the command is f 7.

Hi everyone,

Speaking of spell check, can anybody tell me how to work the
spell checker in Windows 7? How do you run a document through
spell check? Also, if I write an email using Gmail's Web
interface, can I run the email I typed into Gmail's form field
through spell check?
Thanks,

Chris

nuisance."

Good evening everyone,

    A professional representing an agency for the blind should
know to
proofread their e-mail messages prior to sending them.  We do
this and run
them through spell-check before they're sent.

Hey NABSters,

I am writing for a couple of reasons.  Starting with Joshua's
suggestion
about Learning Ally posting samples of readers' voices.  Perhaps
you didn't
know we use more than 5,000 volunteers to read our audiobooks.
The readers
are assigned books based on their specificc subject knowledge;
e.g.  a
physicist reads physics, a native speaker of Spanish reads
Spanish language,
etc.  The volunteers read for at least two hours a week and many
readers are
assigned to a book so that it can be completed and uploaded for
us as
quickly as possible.

With all of these factors, Learning Ally does offer book samples
on thee
website but providing samples of a volunteer group thaa changes
on a regular
basis doesn't seem feasible.

You may know tha tthe NLS hires paid actors or voicers to read
the majority
of those books and that individual readers read specificgenres of
books,
such as mysteries, true crime, romance, etc.

I also would like to be ghelpful in any area in which you are
having
difficulty with Learning Ally.  If watching the YouTube video
doesn't work,
wy not call tech support? OOur blind tech experts are wonderful
in
explaining processes and answering questions about how something
works.  In
addition, so that I can help YOU, please let mek now what
specific issues
you are having with the website.

You can e-mail me offlist if your question or issue is lengthy so
that this
list doesn't get monoopolized.

Many thanks,

Annemarie Cooke
Learning Ally consultant (and member)
