Real-time spell checking - as you type
 RealObjects edit-on Pro features an extensive and flexible spell checker similar to popular word processing applications, including an add words to custom dictionaries functionality. It is only downloaded as the user invokes it, e.g. through a toolbar button or pull down menu, thus saving bandwidth and increasing performance.
Spell checking can be done "as you type" or on demand. "As you type" means as soon as a word not found in the dictionary is entered a red waved line indicates a possible misspelling. With on demand spell checking the user invokes the process through e.g. a toolbar button or pull down menu.
If a misspelled word is found, the spell checker offers a selection of possible replacements or allows you to enter a correction. You can change just thist occurrence or all occurrences of the misspelled word. Words can be added to custom dictionaries while the spell checker language can be changed on-the-fly.

Separate pre- and post reform German dictionary
In the late 1990s a government-sponsored reformation of the rules used to spell certain German words (Die Neue Rechtschreibung) was introduced. The reformation was sanctioned by Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Liechtenstein. The new spelling rules will be required in schools and government documents by 31 July 2005.
Acceptance of the spelling reform is controversial and may remain so for some time. Consequently edit-on Pro provides three versions of the German dictionary, one including words spelled in the "old" (pre-reform) style, one including words spelled in the "new" (post-reform) style and another including words spelled in both "old" (pre-reform) and "new" (post-reform) style.
