Help Needed: Spellcheck on Mac

I am asking for help getting spell check for a 2007 desktop Mac on 'Leopard'. I have googled it and found a way to use it on TextEdit and checked 'Check spelling as you type' but as soon as I come back here it's not on and there is no option for spell check in Edit, just cut and paste sort of options.

I used to have spellcheck permanently until I started clearing up the mac and I don't know exactly what I did to make it go away.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Click the "finder" icon. Go to Help. Type in "spell check" Voila ... everything you need to know.

Thank you, I think I'm going to have to swith back to Safari. Not having any luck with Firefox, I went to help as you said and saw that it is switched on for Firefox but still when I mispell words I get no squggly red line.

Man, why do you witches and warlocks use macs.

Spells are far better cast on a PC.
