found this in this months PCMag:
here's the script:
oShell= new
ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
oShell.SendKeys( "^c" ); // copy
oWord= new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
oWord.Visible= true;
oWord.Documents.Add();
oWord.Selection.Paste();
oWord.ActiveDocument.CheckSpe lling();
oWord.Selection.WholeStory();
oWord.Selection.Copy();
oWord.ActiveDocument.Close(0);
oWord.Quit();
var nRet= oShell.Popup( "Apply changes?\nClick OK to replace all selected text.", 0, "Spell Check Complete", 33 );
if ( nRet == 1 ) {oShell.SendKeys( "^v" );
// paste
}
here's how to do it:

And aides me when aye rime.
Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule
The checker pour o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Be for a veiling checkers
Hour spelling mite decline,
And it were lacks or have a laps,
We wood be maid to wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling

Their are know faults with in my cite,
Of non eye am a wear.
Now spelling does know phase me.

My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped words fare as hear.

Of witch won should be proud.
And wee mussed dew the best wee can
Sew flaws are knot aloud.
Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft ware four pea seas,
And why I brake in two averse
By righting want too pleas.

Doesn't work for me. When I click on it in the IE links drop down menu, I just get another popup that asks me what program to open it with. I'm guessing that it needs something I don't have installed?

Really, you have it working?
I have MSWord installed and I've followed the instructions to the letter, but it doesn't work. When I click on the link I just get the "Open With" dialogue box.
You think it depends on the OS?
Anyways, I've probably wasted too much time on it already, shame, it would have been neat.

Win2K here at work with Office 2000 using it with IE 6.0
works like a champ. Highlight text to check, then click shortcut in links bar to file. It opens word, copies highlighted text shows corrections if any then pastes the corrected text back and closes word.

I don't know what the problem is, I couldn't get it to werk.

I'm using Office 2000 and IE 6.0 same as you, but I'm still using Win98SE, perhaps that's it. If anyone else gets it to work with win98, please let me know.
I also notice that when I drag the spellcheck.js file into the IE Links menu, it doesn't acquire an IE icon similar to the other links, does that mean anything?
Also, when I copied the script, I pasted it into notepad before saving it as spellcheck.js is that the right thing to do?
Anyway, thanks for the help.

when I copy and paste it into notepad, I get a bunch of strange characters. I used Dreamweaver to create the js file.
The icon won't look the same as it is not an html page like the rest of the links under "Links"
I'll try it at home, Win98 there and let you know.
Here is a copy of the file that works for me here at work in a zip:

Thanks, your file didn't make any difference, I'll wait and see how you get on with Wing98.
I appreciate the help.

turns out my win98 side of the dual boot on my home machine doesn't have Word installed. I boot to it to play games only. The WinXP boot does have word and it worked fine once I set .js files to open with a program called "WScript.exe". I had it set to open to edit with Dreamweaver but switched it in Explorer (Tools/Folders/File Types/Opens With).
You'll find it at:
C:\Windows\WScript.exe in Win98, it was under Windows\System32 in WinXP
