The absolute coolest windows tip I've ever seen!
Thought I would pass this along to all the bad spellers, 
as I am, I used this alot before DBSTalk got a Spellchecker.
I still use it at other forums I visit.
Awhile back I was flipping through PCmag and one of my favorite sections is user-to-user and this turned in a little code snippet that runs a spellcheck in a webform, through IE using the MS Word spellcheck/grammar engine!

Create a file called spellcheck.js and put it somewhere save (c:\My Documents or maybe c:\spellcheck).
Cut and paste the following code
oShell= new
ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
oShell.SendKeys( "^c" ); // copy
oWord= new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
oWord.Visible= true;
oWord.Documents.Add();
oWord.Selection.Paste();
oWord.ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling();
oWord.Selection.WholeStory();
oWord.Selection.Copy();
oWord.ActiveDocument.Close(0);
oWord.Quit();
var nRet= oShell.Popup(
"Apply changes?\nClick OK to replace all selected text.",
0,
"Spell Check Complete",
33 );
if ( nRet == 1 ) {
oShell.SendKeys( "^v" ); // paste
}
Now, drag the file from the folder to the Links bar in IE to create a shortcut to the script. Right-click the shortcut, choose Rename, and name it Spell Check.
Now, next time your pounding away on a great post, when you're finished hit CTRL-A to select the entire post, then click the Spellcheck button in the Link Bar. It will open Word, paste your post in a document, run spell check, and when you're done it will close word and paste the spellchecked/grammar checked document back into the MESSAGE FRAME.
