Word is not a typing application. Word does make it easier to work around
common typos, however. When you right-click on a word marked as misspelled,
instead of selecting the correct spelling, you can click on AutoCorrect and
choose the correct spelling. From then on, whenever you type, for example,
"sotre" (one of my bugaboos), you'll get "store" automatically.

For the purpose of becoming a better speller, Word should have the option
to
catalog misspelled words. Words that the user more commonly typed
correctly
can be treated as "mistypes" and removed from the list. Then one could
come
back to this list for further study. Maybe a simple interface that can
print
a study list and does a spelling test type routine: Computer says the
word,
you type the word. Maybe even have a Typing Practice interface that takes
the common mistypes and builds a practice routine to improve typing
skills.
