Thank you very much. I will try that out, though Greg pointed
out this is an imperfect solution. What about adopting Netscape
spell checker and providing BB with a standard command
to connect to Netscape spell checking engine? Netscape
is free and everybody has it nowadays, while Office is expensive
and not everybody likes it.

I invoked Netscape checker while typing this message under Netscape.
It seems to work OK. If only I could invoke the same engine under BB.
