This is another reason I am so happy I joined this list. Donna asked a similar question which I was thinking of asking too. Anna offered a wrinkle/suggestion which I already played with and found to be easier for me and Brett helped explained the spell checker a bit better to help me make sense of it.
One quick question. Is there a command while in spell checker if one wishes to read the line or sentence in which the misspelled word appears...without getting out of spell checker?
