The link above enables you to download a
full working version
of
MicroSpell. (To be completely accurate, a bonus feature that enables the speller
to automatically learn and correct your misspellings is disabled until
you register. This is an incentive and a thank-you for registering.)
This copy of the speller is free, but if you use it in your
business or profession, we request that you register and pay
the suggested fee. Contributions from all other users are
encouraged and welcomed. You can set the amount on the
registration page.
If you want to learn more about MicroSpell, go to the
features
page. If you already have a copy of MicroSpell,
check the
Release Notes
for the current version to help decide whether you want to update.
(If you've registered version 9.x, your update is free.)
No. MicroSpell does
not
add to, overwrite, delete, change, or otherwise affect
any
of your Windows system DLLs so it will not break Windows or any other
applications
that rely on these DLLs.
MicroSpell does not register any "file associations" so it will not "take over"
the
function of another application that you might have already installed. (An
installation option
lets you place MicroSpell on the right mouse button "Send To" menu, so you can
easily send any file to the speller.) Finally, MicroSpell does not display
advertising or install any "spyware" software on your system. For more
information, see our Privacy Policy.
If you decide not to continue using MicroSpell, you can easily remove it using
the
accompanying "uninstall" program.
When you click the "Download MicroSpell" link above, your browser will
probably inform you that it is downloading a file and offer you a
chance to tell it where to put it. You may put it in any convenient
directory (folder) on any of your disks (the speller will
not
be decompressed
or installed here). Once the download is complete, you should have a
file named
ms-inst.exe in the directory you
specified.
In Windows Explorer, double-click on ms-inst.exe
to run the MicroSpell installation
program. This program will install the speller and, optionally, run it when
finished.
The installer will offer to put MicroSpell in a standard "Program Files"
directory,
but you can override this if you prefer.
Once MicroSpell is installed, you no longer need ms-inst.exe
so you may delete it to
recover the space.
In general, no. You can install the new version in the same location as the
old version and only the files that need to be updated will be replaced. Most
of your customizations should remain intact. The install program does not
overwrite dictionary files, so any changes you made should be preserved.
(On the other hand, if you want to install the current versions of any or all
of the dictionaries, delete the existing ones first and they will be replaced.)
If you elect to uninstall MicroSpell and you have made changes to
any dictionaries that you want to preserve, you must be careful.
Read the
Installing/Uninstalling MicroSpell
help topic for more information. Better still, move any
dictionaries that you have modified to a directory outside of MicroSpell's
directories so the uninstaller cannot touch them.
