Yes, Thunder! (originally by Batteries Included, but I think they were
bought out.)  You not only get a spelling checker that you can set up
as a desk accessory, or a stand alone spelling checker, but you also
get two readability indexes.  And yes, I do use Thunder! with 1st Word.
It does make 1st Word a much nicer word processor.
