   That does not answer the question; and I can already check any suspected words   
   with a Firefox add-ons.  I want to see what a word processor shows; to see   
   text with suspect words marked, so that I can see at a glance which are typos   
   and which are    
   intentional but uncommon words.  Ecaple : in this paragraph, 'ons' and   
   'Ecaple' are marked; 'ons' is intentional, and  'Example' is a typo word that   
   I do know how to spell.
