   Actually, MS-Word has both of those features, but I seldom use it. I   
   normally don't run a spell checker, but do access an online dictionary   
   when I'm in doubt. Sometimes my version of spelling a word can't be found   
   because it isn't there. But it will suggest words spelled similarly that   
   one can look up and perhaps use to find the word you were looking for. Or   
   it will make a suggestion that offers a different spelling.
