Automatic Spell Check macro maybe?

I did a quick search and didn't see this, but I'm sure it's been
asked:

This applies to Word and Powerpoint. When I spell check a document
about 95% of the time Word and PP have the correct spelling for the
suggestion. Is there anyway to make it so that it will automatically
change the spelling with one command. I always proof read so even if
Word/PP got the wrong word inserted it would cut down on my time.

Thanks,

Max

In the Tools | AutoCorrect Options dialog, there is an option to
"Automatically use suggestions from the spelling checker." How this works is
that there will be no automatic correction if there's more than one
suggestion for a misspelling, but if there's only a single suggestion, it
will automatically be substituted. Beware, however: this is how so many odd
words turn up in printed documents.

Thanks, Suzanne.

It would be really great if it auto replaced it then underlined it
with a color to indicate the word was changed until the next save.
Maybe Word 2010 :)
