@Toxaris - I'm responding to this https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...3&postcount=16

That is why I also used that type of interface in my alternative check spelling procedure in my Word add-in. At the moment I do use the Word spelling engine, but that might change later...
Have you changed the spell checker - radically. I recall looking at it when I first installed your add-in, but I don't recall it as having a Sigil spell checker like user interface. However at the time I was mainly interested in conversion but I do recall consciously discounting the spell checker; maybe I was too hasty. Subsequently I removed it from the Ribbon when that feature was introduced.

But that's water under the bridge. Here's what I'd love to have in Word
  • add the check boxes and buttons that Sigil has at the bottom of the list along with the Filter box (which I would also put at the bottom);
  • implement a word list context menu the same as the one in the calibre editor spell checker
  • implement an Undo last change as per the calibre editor spell checker
  • do items 1, 3 and 4 in my Spellchecker - enhancements thread.
  • offer hunspell dictionaries as a selectable alternative to the MS dictionaries - i.e. I would not want to lose the ability to use the MS dictionaries - I put a lot of value on my MS dictionary exclusion lists.
If you were able and wanted to do all that then I would not need to do any content editing of the EPUB in Sigil (or calibre). I would only use Sigil for layout adjustments and typographical editing - i.e. book making edits.
