Hi, Could anyone tell me, please, where I can download a GOOD, but CHEAP Medical spellchecker and word expander program?  I just got a new computer with Vista and my Shortcuts program or dictionary (Dorland's) will not work.  I have been off work for a while and need desperately to work, but I'm lacking money to buy those.  Info would be appreciated.  I've spent hours looking on the Net.  Thanks!!
