I had spell check on my old computer but I don't have it on my new one and I can't remember how to install one now. Can anyone help me.
 

if you misspell a word, and it is "underlined", just Right Click on it, and you should see a small window pop up with the correct spelling. Click on the correctly spelled word, and it should replace the incorrect one.
 
If I have doubts about the spelling of a word,
I open another tab and ask google.

My word processing programmes have a spell
checker and they used to cover anything that I
wrote anywhere on the PC by underlining the
wrong word in red, but for some years now it
doesn't seem to do that, certainly not in here
or most on line places, yet it works OK off-line.

I have spell check on my Firefox browser.
If you are using Firefox this is how you get spell check.
How Do I Enable Spell Check for Firefox?
  1. Select the “Menu” button located at the upper-right corner of the screen, then choose “Options“.
  2. Scroll to the “Language” section.
  3. Select “Check my spelling as I type” if you want to turn spell checker on.
  4. Uncheck it if you wish to have it off.

Enabling spell check for everything you type in Firefox

Where it states to go to the Language section may not be available in all versions of Firefox. Navigate to Advanced and it will be there.
You can also do the same with Microsoft Word to check your spelling. Go to the Menu and Settings.
Those without another browser such as EDGE will have to navigate the menu. I don't have Edge.

Mine works here. It may be your browser. Give it a menu check.
 
Safari has an autocorrect function. I’ve become lazy & type a few letters and let it do the job for me. Sometimes it has a different opinion of what I should be saying.

I sure miss the group on Facebook. What a shame that the owner had to sell. It’s not the same without her.

I tried that but there is no indication to or for a spell checker Camper.

I am using Mozilla Firefox 82.0.2 (64Bit) browser, there is some mention
about grammer etc but nothing more that I thought might help.

Some of the worst spelling errors I encounter. It's like fingernails on a chalk board.

Boarder instead of border.

Looser instead of loser. (That one is the absolute worst.)

A poster criticizes someone and says he is a looser?
