sometimes go a step further. The Words report in calibre's editor (Tools->Reports->Words) has an option to export the list to a csv file.
I load the csv into nirsofts CSVFileView which has menu options for things like font, size, use of half-shadow 'paper' etc. I find I'm able to spot more anomalies by eye-balling the same list in different fonts, weights, etc on 'shadow paper', than I can using the light-weight small font I use in the epub editors.
Another use of Toxaris's EPUB Tools Search and Replace is to create a rule set that finds words which are not misspelled, but are nevertheless the wrong word - e.g. 'manger/manager', 'toll/tool'. Aside : the ability to have different rule sets in Epub Tools S&R is a boon
You can exclude words from MS Word's Standard Dictionaries, see ==>>
Create an Exclusion Dictionary. So if you object to 'soiree' you can exclude that spelling, then when you type it you'll get 'soirée'
