Perry Mowbray:
PSPad. It has auto correction and spell checker. Free.

Similar to Apps suggestion....

You could use Tinyspell.

I have used it every day for years now to check my spelling in the Accounting package MYOB, but works with all windows programs.

vers 1.4 has two versions available
Features:       
tinySpell (totally free - no adware/spyware/nagware/etc.)
    Checks spelling in any Windows application
    Uses little system resources
    Checks spelling on-the-fly (alerts if the last typed word was misspelled)
    Checks spelling of a word that is copied to the clipboard
    Optionally beeps on error (now with hot-key control - new in v1.4)
    The beep sound can be easily set to any wav file (new in v1.4)
    Opens replacements list with a simple mouse click or a hot-key
    Optionally copies the selected replacement word to the clipboard
    Optionally inserts the selected replacement word into the document
    Allows you to add words to the dictionary
    Easy Enable/Disable

tinySpell+  in addition to the above features (new in v1.4)
    Remembers the last error (even if it is not the last typed word)
    Allows you to add auto-replacements to the dictionary
    Allows you to add a list of words to the dictionary
    Additional options:
     - Check Capitalization
     - Mixed CaSe is an error
     - Ignore UPPERCASE words
     - Ignore words with numbers
     - Ignore Internet & email addresses and file names
     - Ignore Windows password fields (NOT in web-forms!)
    Supports change of dictionary (unofficial): click here for details

And the + version works similar to donation coder.
Starts at $5 but you can pick your price above that if you want.

I have always used the freeware version, but 'Donation Coder' has altered my thinking.
Will buy the plus version tommorrow.

Thanks

This thread prompted me to go looking for a new general purpose editor, one which has a spellchecker would be especially useful for making webpages.

I tried the mentioned PSPad but when spellchecking was turned on the whole app slowed tremendously, scrolling through a file was particularly bad.

So I went searching for alternatives and I found

RJ TextEditor
CPad
Syn Text Editor

Personally I settled on CPad but all are worth checking out.

Been using Boxer for years, couldn't live without it  The author is completely accessible, like the people around here.

That does seem nice alright, but $60 is a bit expensive for an editor.
