The best spell checking utility I've seen is Spell Catcher. It not only 
can check selected text, but it can check on the fly, use its 
"Glossary" feature to correct frequent typos or expand typed 
"shorthands" into full text (even multiple lines of text if you want). 
It includes an online thesaurus, and many features for modifying 
selected text. It also comes with specialized dictionaries (medical, 
legal, etc.) I relied on it so strongly in OS 9.x and earlier that I 
delayed going to OS X until they had an X version.

As a fast-but-sloppy typist, I don't know what I'd do without Spell 
Catcher!
