In word type your thread.

Type what you want to say,
High-light the text, then
Hold down the Ctrl button (bottom left of your keyboard)
Then press c
Now go to the message page, as if you were going to type your message again but instead hold down the Ctrl button then press v
The text from word should now appear as if by magic.

I don't think the spelling is that important, it's what the posting is all about that counts.
Folks crying out for help and advice is the same message however it is spelt,
all best wishes

Norman! Excactly. 'A' bloody Men to that!

The day a degree in Eng lit or oanguage is reuiqred to voice one's opinions, feelings or the price of a gbag o f chips I'll show my aspidistra on hte local town cryers' wheely bin. Does anybody relive velive that having been to your own hell and black, and in its personal deliverance of that, somebody will actually take the tiem to say: somebody there having a major crisisi, similar to that which nearly destroyed my life ..................and a well punctuated sentence would have made all the difference? Don't think so.

The day a Masters in caring is awarded, despite all the mappings of despicable politicos (I'm sorry, children not allowed) and the PC, Ill be up there completely unpunctuated, complete with appropriate waffle - more than your average intellectual! could ever hope to bat. And then I'll start really laughing.

Hi there - Cool it - not so heavy !!!!!

It was little me that began this & for my own benefit !!!!! - wasnt criticising anyone elses writing !!!

I jsut find it incredibly irritating that I can hand write with few spelling errors but when I type (as I'm thinking) - I continually get 2 adjacent letters round the wrong way. (These are when letters are made through typing one with left hand and the next one with the right hand - if i type slowly it sOK) I have noticed htsi in one ot two other peopel (NOT on this Forum) !!! - Am jsut waiting fo r someone to say that , after analysign emails and forum messages - htis is a first sign of Alzheimres !!!!! (Did you all catch the news recently where some bright spark has analysed Iris Murdochs last book and hsa beenable to chart the progress of her Alzheimers ?)

Thats OK - I am now typing at a slow and regular speed - a la Mavis Beacons Typing course and it is much better. Think I need 'something' to calm me down - maybe hyperactivity can be a part of the bereavement process as well as times feeling totally exhausted?

Take care . BW Chris

Dear Chris

I do believe hyperactivity is a diversionary tactic - it's called displacement activity apparently. A recently bereaved friend has cleaned cupboards where she didn't even know she had cupboards and if she cleans the tiling much more she'll need to replace it - and much of this in the middle of the night. Then she wonders why she is exhausted. I've never underestimated the exhaustion of emotional upheaval - and you have had more than your fair share. Be gentle with yourself. Fingers on the home keys.

Best wishes

unrelated comment but something I have noted:

while I often find my fingers run ahead of my brain, and letters come out somewhat jumbled ['all the right ones, not necessarily in the right order'], if I find this happens frequently in the course of a sentence or two, I reach to have my magic migraine pills to hand, because for sure I have an attach [meant 'attack' but it is the first wrong word so I'm not sorried (that's a second error - more worried now!) ] coming on.

Jan always felt her head a little numb at the back after one of her faints - and this is similar to the after effects of a bad migraine attack.

The brain is a very complex thing, and when the electrics go squiffy, either temporarily or permanently, the results are not good. Stating the obvious, of course.

hyperactivity is a diversionary tactic.
I have noticed that when I am upset,angry,frustrated I always find jobs to do.
Cut grass,clean things,any things,work work work.
This nearly always happens when I am pushed to the limit and my patience runs out.
I too end up exhausted.
As we wll know one cannot reason,discuss with AD so this is when the diversionary tactic comes into play.

Dear Bruce

My electrics are indeed going squiffy, and I don't mean the one's lighting the tree. Sometimes I find it quite scary. Can't point out anything definite, just a sensation that all is not right. My concentration levels are zilch sometimes. But I suspect this is more to do the depression accompanying all of this, or should I say I hope..............

Hi Chesca

funny you should say so but I was at the surgery just this morning telling my GP how I think I've suffered collateral damage as a result of Jan's condition. I got the "thank goodness you have accepted you have depression" speech from him.

I guess this is common to all carers.

I can't concentrate on doing things or reading, flit from thing to thing like an inebriated butterfly, and suffer sudden dips into severe depression. [and yes, there is always the fear. This is how Jan started!]

The GP says I have reactive depression and agrees with me that medication is not the answer. He reckons I have worked out a survival methodology and should stick with it.

My worry is that Sam Carter didn't look so good to me yesterday on either of the Stargate programmes!

Hello Bruce

Just wanted to empathise.

What works for one doesnt work for another - but with a great deal of effort I find deciding on a very small job that is important to me at the tme - then getting it done and sayng Right Thats it - Achievement - now I'm allowed to switch off - works - well - sometimes ! [Come to think of it i may have got this idea from TP - mayb eyou !!! If so - TP works well too !!!]

Take care of yourself - thats the most important bit.

Dear Bruce

I can identify with all you say, except, of course the Sam Carter bit, heaven forbid!

I start something, then all of a sudden can't see the point. It was suggested to me last week that I appeared, be it from a sense of duty, or whatever, subconsciously hell bent on going down with the ship - that as Mum deteriorates so do I. Don't know what was going on there! Above all, I hate the instrospection of it all, the selfish indulgence of wallowing even though sometimes it feels out of control. Time to give myself a good shake, I think. I sometimes feel that I need a battery start-up, a damned good jolt.

Back to the Beano.

When you go on a journey you never know what you will find !!!!!

What did I start when I simply asked if we could have a Spell Checker on this Forum !!!!!!

I was really surprised I could read this at all - yet alone read it very quickly !!!!!

I'm printing it out to test people !!!! Maybe the speed at which you read it is a test of AD ? No - dont lets go there !!!

I'm going to print it off to see how many people who have had too many toots of their favourite tipple over the holiday get it right. Chris, you may have been the inventor of a new parlour game when you first asked the question!
