Thanks Alan, for the great suggestion!

Yes, it is indeed an Apache server, using version 1.3.37.

I Googled "mod_speling" and found a page about it that says the directive to
use is:
CheckSpelling on

However, I inserted that in my .htaccess and got a 500 Interal Server error.
Apparently it isn't able to work on my site, but I don't know why. I'll try
to investigate further.

all best,
Denise
