As a Dyslexic I depend on Spellchecker but there are some words that have two
or more corect spelings. If there where an indication of meening then I'd
lnow whitch one too choos! EG to, too two.
Thanks d0m

I think for a start you could use the help that the spelling checker can
already provide. I'm pretty sure it would tell you that "corect,"
"spelings," "meening," "lnow," "whitch," and "choos" are not spelled
correctly.

You already have a couple choices:

- Right-click the word and view the Synonyms menu
- Right-click the word and select "Look up..." to obtain the
definition of the word in the Research task pane

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for

In office 2003 there is a built in dictionary under tools-languages. Or
simply right click on the word in question and look at the synonms and see if
they are different words for the meaning you want.
