sound alerts when a word is misspelled

[Dean Martineau]

I would like to receive audio notification when a word is misspelled,
preferably with some beep or other short wave sound after hitting
space or enter. I'm currently using Word
2002, but would consider changing to a word processor that offers this
feature. By installing the Office 2000/xp sounds, I can get audio
alerts when an autocorrect action is taken, so the technology to give
audio alerts when a word is misspelled, and when Correct Spelling as
you Type is active, obviously exists. Do any Word add-ons, or other
word processors, provide this feature, or can it be added to Word in
some way by the user?

Thanks in advance.

Dean

Hi Dean,

I don't know of anything like this, but the better place to ask would
certainly be in the word.spelling.grammar newsgroup...
