Spellchecking - well, that's something I know about, because the way I type and proofread get's pretty close to encryption at times.
But what has made an amazing difference is a little free program called HotLingo. I got it off a free disk with a magazine. The great thing is it lets spellcheck the posts you write, and other things, such a forms you fill in online.
Here's a link to a page with a bit about it. And if you click on this - a href="http://www.hotlingo.com">http://www.hotlingo.comyou'll get a free download. Worth every penny and a lot more.
