   If using LibreOffice is a requirement, you'd have to use macros to import a   
   text file, then perform a spell check.   
      
   Otherwise, use the standalone version of the same spell checking engine used   
   by LibreOffice: Hunspell. Get the standalone Hunspell tool   
   (hunspell-1.3.2-3-w32-bin.zip) which can be used from a batch file.
