Microsoft Office includes a magnificent editor with built in spell and grammar check called "Word." Many people use Word as an editor and save the file as a complete edited file when they are finished. However, word can be used for much more than that.
For example, when posting to a discussion or forum that does not have a built in spell check or grammar checker write your post in Word. Then, copy past the post to the discussion without saving the Word document. You can then go back and forth as you post additional comments. (This is where a double monitor or wide screen comes in handy.)
You can also use Word as an editor for a chat utility that does not support spell or grammar check.
At the bottom left corner of the Word task screen is a number that indicates Word count. For discussion assignments that require a minimum number of words you can use this word count if you use Word as the editor for your post.
Finally, it very handy to keep Word open and on your task bar if you need a handy spell checker or thesaurus. Just open the Word task screen and type in your word to check it.
