Hi, I've written one (or two). It's not really too hard, provided you have a dictionary.
Spell checking / word replacement is performed using the IE textrange object. Highlight the word in the editor, pop a modal window, and give the user an option to select the correct word. Replace the highlighted word with the user-selected word using built in textrange methods. This was probably the easist portion of our wysiwyg editor to write! I'd imagine that there is something out there which could be purchased or adapted to your editor.

( WAS RE: Alternative QYSIWYG editors) Now are there any open source spell scheckers for these QYSIWYG editors? I've been digging around and can't find any. I've been looking at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jazzy/ with the idea of writing a custom tag to encapsulate and all, but have not gotten very far yet.
