We 'see' what we *intended* to say - not what we actually typed. Spell-checkers are objective. Even when dead-wrong, they draw your eye to possible anomalies. ...and still miss a few. Such as the time a VP of Sales called me to whine that he didn't have a sister.... ??? One of my staff had published the new Sales Compensation Plan - having spell-checked 'blind'. Thereby turning 'incent', 'incentive', incentivize' to 'incest' ... and derivatives. Compilers are even less discriminate, BTW. ;-) Bill
