Spellcheck for Word Windows and Mac

[Richard Robin]

In Windows, using both Office 2007 and Office 2009, I use the Microsoft
Russian pack. It is available through many Russian vendors (some of whom
don't exactly... uh... vend.) It's also probably available on the Microsoft
site, if not .com, then probably . ru. The Rusian language pack includes a
spellchecker, a fairly useless grammar checker (it catches all the commas),
synonyms and antonyms.

-Rich Robin

If you use Google docs or even Gmail, you can mark text as Russian and it
will be checked. But Google docs produce lots of false positives.
