| Abstract: |
A method for checking spelling in a word processor integrates spell checking with the editing process. During idle periods of the word processor, the spell checker scans an open document, and maintains a table of spelling status data, including codes to identify checked, unchecked, or edited ranges of characters. Spelling errors can be highlighted during an editing session. Spelling status data is maintained with the document so that spell checked portions of the document do not need to be re-checked.
