Like many computer related issues this is not straightfoward. There is only a spell checker on Internet Explorer (IE) from version 9, and this can only be installed on PCs with later versions of Windows (certainly not XP.)
Why does this matter?
Worldwide Windows is used on 90.68% of personal computers, and 31.42% worldwide are XP users. The drawback of it is that you have to download extra languages (the standard or default is US English - and why not, they developed it!)
Other browsers like Firefox and Opera have spellcheckers built in.
Enough geekery (but it's how I've earned a living for the last 30 years!) and back to AR.
