My old laptop died and I had to buy a new one. Unfortunately it had Windows 8. It had no word processor and I had to buy the Office Suite and an external CD drive. Total cost? Near $1000! Now the problem. Word has no spell check, no dictionary. Any one know how I can get them? The internet was no help.

Any recent version of Word should have a spell-check. I'm not even sure it's
possible to turn it off.
Are you sure you're not talking about WordPad? That's a utility word processor "lite" application that comes with most Windows' installs. It doesn't have a spell-check.
I suppose you could always compose your documents right here on FreeRepublic. Then, use the spell-check, and copy and paste into your document!

closer to a 1/2 of that if you use Open Office. or a 1/3 if you use Office 2013 home and family
but all ver of office do have spell check. if it really does not then either it is turned off in settings or a major install issue happend.

Bought outlook 2007 for my new laptop with windows 8, because it’s the version I have on my other computers. Outlook 2007 won’t install in windows 8. I feel your pain.

Open Office is awesome.
I love that I can run it off a “thumb drive”.
I really need to find an “open source”, Photoshop program and a multi-track audio mixer that isn’t a trial version and doesn’t contain all the crap add-ons.

Try GIMP for photo editing. I love it for simple tasks.
To: Bidimus1; ShadowAce
ever tried a program for writers called Scrivener?
I have the Linux beta release that will stop working sometime in 2014.
It is pretty cool.

You don't have to upgrade but it might work faster on a new computer.
