Regarding the hunspell dictionaries - I use these via Sigil/Calibre spell checker as a 'second opinion'. Given that involves -- converting the DOCX to EPUB and opening that in Sigil or Calibre -- having to restart Word to use a hunspell dictionary won't bother me much 
Can you display what dictionary is being used somewhere, probably on the right hand side.
And when using a hunspell dictionary is it possible to honour the settings I've highlighted here

Especially the second one. Numeric tables and large indexes can generate thousands (literally) of spurious errors if they're not ignored.
Happy to 'beta' test if you think that would add value.

I will read up on exclusion dictionaries and see if I can use them. I assume I can make it work for the Word spelling engine, but I am not sure if I can for the Hunspell engine.
I have made a work-around for using the Hunspell custom dictionaries with the Word engine in my own procedure. However, using these for the standard Word spelling procedure is different. I have made an option in the setting screen to add these to the Custom Dictionaries for Word, but then a restart of Word is required.
Of course when an additional custom dictionary is used, it is displayed which one. You can even switch during operation.
With regards to the settings you mention (talking about giving a finger...). Numbers are ignored by default, also with the Hunspell engine. However, words partially number, partially letters are not ignored and with reason. Often these are the result of OCR errors, one example which occurs often in Dutch is '2o' instead of 'zo'. Therefore I am doubting to make that an option. The same goes for Words in capitals, often these are smallcaps not identified correctly by the OCR process. The internet addresses might be possible, I will look into this. I might incorporate these options, but I am not sure yet.
