Don't wast your money on this spell checker. You will get some new words added to your existing checker (you could add them yourself)It's not really a spell checker, it is an add on to the spell checker you already have.

It is wondeful software. Simple, easy to use, user-friendly, and very accurate in the pronunciation.
Buy this CD. Don't waste your money on the subscription at merriam-webster's website.
ALso try the Medical dictionary. It is as equally superb.

Easier than grabbing a heavy hardback October 30, 2003

The MW Medical Desk Dictionary's best feature is that it's convenient. It offers you the option to install macros that put an icon on your Word or WordPerfect toolbar that will launch the dictionary. Highlight a word in your document, click the icon, and it will look it up. Type the beginning letters of a word in its search feature, and it will attempt to match what you type with a word in its dictionary. Where it fails is when you don't want that word and it's automatically filled the search box with some other word, so you have to delete the letters that don't apply. Sure, it's easier than grabbing a heavy hardback, and better than the outdated dictionary I had, but its automatic look-up ability needs serious work. I also wish it was a spell-checker plugin rather than an add-on dictionary; you can't tell Word (or any other Office application) that it's a dictionary you're adding in because there is no *.dic file for the program to find to add in. Still, for the money, this is a very good program if what you want is a dictionary and not a spellchecker.
