I found a rich text spellcheck module that uses MS Word's spellcheck. It goes in and out of Word and deposits the results back in the richtext field; however, the results are deposited in plain unformatted text. If you look at the code, could you tell me how I can get this to leave the resulting spellcheck text as the formatted richtext that originally went into the spellchecker?
