Yep, usually happens in books with collections of articles from various authors.

I almost never rely on that auto-corrector, who knows what edge cases it might botch. :P

Thanks for responding to my post.

I agree with Vroni. If it was that important, I sometimes split each HTML into their own EPUBs and combine them later.

Hmmm, although it does make me think of a potential addition to the Spellcheck List.
Maybe a dropdown, like we have in Find/Replace:
- All HTML Files
- Current File
- Selected HTML Files
Then you can set it + click Refresh, and the Spellcheck list will get repopulated with the info.
Then when you use the auto-corrector, it'll act on the files like Find/Replace does.
Side Note: Also, think it would be helpful to have a CSV export somewhere. Similar to Calibre's
Tools > Reports > Words > Save.
