Using Browser-based Spell Check with Rapattoni MLS
The Microsoft® Internet Explorer®, Google Chrome®, Mozilla Firefox®, and Apple® Safari® browsers supported by the MLS all include built-in spell check features. To eliminate potential errors or conflicts with these browser-based spell check functions, the Rapattoni Spell Check icon was removed from the MLS the night of Wednesday, February 26, 2014.
Users can configure their browser-based spell check settings by following the steps listed below for the applicable browser.
Please note: To find suggested spellings, right-click on any red underlined misspelled word.
