Contextual spelling is available in Office 2007 for English, Spanish and
German. In Office 2010, it is also available for French, which has just
been
added.

Several other posts are listed via this link:

including a discussion of the academic paper which Suzanne cites:
http://blogs.msdn.com/naturallangua...-office-2007-contextual-spelling-checker.aspx
There are plenty of examples in the posts I mention above, but you can
definitely try some sentences like the following if you wish to test the
very
pairs you cite (you/your; form/from):
The flight form New York was late.
I thank your for your help.
Take you time, don't worry.
You will see nice blue squiggly lines under the mistakes.
I hope it helps,

Perhaps if I'd been googling in some other language I would have found an
equivalent post from you in, say, French?

I wasn't aware that the spellchecking had been improved in Word 2007.
Maybe
this applies only to flavors of English?

If you have Word 2007, the contextual spelling checker will pick up
misuses of words such as those you mention. In earlier versions, the
grammar checker *might* catch them, but the possibility is probably
not
worth the hassle of putting up with the grammar checker. The only
alternative, therefore, would be to add all the words to an exclusion
dictionary. The result would be that they would all be marked as
misspelled every time they appeared, which might be overkill. If you
really want so drastic a solution, see

I want to have Microsoft Word alert me when I use commonly misspelled
words
like form vs. from or you vs. your. Is there any way to get these
letters to
standout when they are typed in a letter?
Thierry Fontenelle said:Yes, Suzanne, there are several posts on our contextual spellers in French
as
well:
