Bruce,

I haven't had any bad experiences with Spell Catcher X.  Granted I 
haven't really used it other than to check text selections in fields.  
I haven't used it in the script editor. As far as invisible characters 
in the script editor,  I have seen this before in earlier versions of 
the script editor and those occurrences were unrelated to spell Checker 
X.

I tend to work with fields separately and not to process them as 
batches so I can't comment on Spell Checker X's performance in that 
regard.

Quit a while ago I mentioned that I thought integrated spell check 
would be a very useful addition to rev.  I still think so.  
Unfortunately the folks at Run Rev really have their hands full at the 
moment and that type of addition would represent a major commitment of 
both time and resources. Maybe someday ...  :-)

Regards,

Steve
