But you are right, the Rev field is not native enough for your users. For example, the way of marking unknown words when doing the contextual check was something I thought about a lot during the design. anything but dashed red underlining is going to leap out While Windows users expect a red wriggly line. I couldn't figure out an efficient way to get those types of visual effects, so in the end just decided to work within the bounds of what the standard field object can do. the target audience have been adding words (place names, people's names) to the OS-level dictionary. I'll look into ways of priming the RRP SpellCheck with the words already in the Mac dictionary. Thank you for the comments, you've left me with plenty to think about and ideas for future work -- although a lot depends on having extra capabilities in the Revolution field object. Since a key feature of my spell checker is cross-platform support this means unless it can be done in Revolution I am unlikely to do it. Of course, if I do figure out how to fake it, I'll let you know.
