Spell Checking

[Archangel]

Okay, I have this spell checking script that I've ganked and improved upon which opens Word in the background to do the spell checking. It works pretty well but I'm having two problems. It's still usable, but these are annoyances.

1. When the correction window is closed the screen flashes real quick
2. I can LTrim with the while loop I have and I can RTrim with the other. But when I try LTrimming AND RTrimming it doesn't work.
