No. I do not know of any word processors that accept ePUB format. Sigil or Calibre are the only two immediate options, WITH spellcheckers, that jump to mind. I don't think that anything else, other than Blue Griffon, does and I can't in good conscience recommend BG for the stated purpose. I see that it is STILL 195EU, which to my mind, is horribly overpriced, compared to something like Sigil, which is FREE FREE FREE. (I'm truly not pimping for Sigil here, although I think it's pretty fantastic, but BG doesn't really do much that you need for a book.)
AWP (Atlantis Word Processor) is pretty spiffy for a DIYer author, but no, it cannot intake ePUB format. I don't recollect about Jutoh--anybody remember? Oh, wait, Jutoh plus. Jutoh Plus can use scripting, but my inference here is that you don't want to mess with that, is that right?
So...no. Calibre and Sigil, only, I am
reasonably certain. Word-processing formatting elemeents are, largely, unsupported in eBooks and vice-versa, so..Sigil or Calibre would be my recommendation for Spellcheck.
But of course, nothing is perfect. I'm not sure that I'm truly answering what you've asked but if you elaborate, I'm sure everyone here will cheerfully jump in.
