Is there a way I can only use the user dictionary in MS Word, without using the built-in dictionary? In other words, let's say I have three words in a user dictionary: "cat", "mouse", and "fish". I want MS Word to underline every word that I type, other than "cat", "mouse", or "fish". Solutions involving other software or scripts are welcome, as long as they are free and aren't too complicated.

Where can I get a popup spellcheck function like AxMe's? It's really sweet. I'm especially impressed that it even works in Opera, is it done with Flash?

I'm trying to make the switch from IE to Firefox but I'm needing a couple of extensions before I can dump IE. I use IE Spell to spell check web forms and right-click post to del.icio.us to bookmark pages in del.icio.us. Does anyone know of any similar extensions for Firefox? Thanks in advance!
