Thanks. I meant, more, that I would like to be able to spell check in Book View. I don't see any valid reason for that being confined to code view. Search and replace isn't that important, but occasionally would be nice to remain in book view when replacing non-code elements such as em-dashes or whatever within a selected text block.

I use search and replace extensively to clean up codes (pretty familiar with all that) and so on, but using any of the available code view fonts I still find it relatively hard to use for spell checking.

A really annoying aspect of WordPerfect spell checking is that XVI doesn't ignore or add words beginning with an uppercase letter. Generally speaking Sigil has a far better spell checker, especially now all my strange words have been added to my dictionaries. I suppose it's just the fonts available that bugs me. I do realise - or at any rate assume - fixed width fonts have to be used in code view.
