Office's spellcheck available in other applications

[KHH]

I think it would be a great feature if you allowed other applications on my
computer to check if MS Office is installed. If it is, and the spell checker
is installed, the program should then be able to use it, like in word.
I do understand that this is functionality that the third party application
developer would have to implement, but it would be great if the option was
there for them. This feature could for instance be used in Live messenger and
Internet Explorer, but would ideally also be available for Firefox or Opera
and so on.
When I'm writing on the web or chatting or such, it always bugs me to know I
have such a good spell checker on my system, but that I need to paste the
text into Word to check it.

It is.

That is up to the other developers to implement. It is not the
responsibility of the Office development team to maintain other entities
software. Why don't you suggest it to them instead!
