I want to build a dictionary of my custom technical words and also search for hyphens which should not be in the epub file. I know I can copy text, chapter by chapter to a Word or Open Office file, but I would prefer doing the spell checking inline.

If this is possible within sigil, great. But perhaps there is another tool that would allow this type of proofing.

Thanks.
What I have been doing is un-packing the epub to a temp folder and using Open Office or Notepad++ to spell check. (each has features and limitations)

and then repackage again for a final tweak with Sigil.
