How to check spelling of a single word non-interactively

WSpell's TestWord method can be used to quickly determine if a word is spelled correctly or not. You pass the word you want to check as a parameter, and TestWord returns True if the word is spelled correctly (i.e., was found in a dictionary) and False otherwise (i.e., is misspelled). Here is an example:

If (Not WSpell1.TestWord(word$)) Then
   MsgBox word$ + " is OK"
Else
   MsgBox word$ + " is misspelled"
End If

The TestWord method doesn't affect other WSpell properties or fire events, so it's handy for doing a quick check in the middle of an ongoing spelling check.
