We need to know if this is your opinion or a bookshare staff
pronouncement. What you write is contrary to what I have always heard from
bookshare on the subject. I think my method is more useable without
violating bookshare rules. Hence my doubting of your comments.

Nothing wrong with spell checking in Word. That's what I used to do before K1000.
Keep up the good work.
