Actually, because not all IIGS programs use TextEdit, NiftySpell can check
files on disk, files that have been copied to the IIGS System Clipboard, and
it even has the ability to verify the spelling of just one word that you can
manually enter into NiftySpell.
Additionally, there's even a NiftySpell XCMD for Spectrum, and Spectrum
Internet Suite v1.1 will have a "spell check" button for outgoing e-mail.
A program like Quick Click Calc doesn't use TextEdit, but with NiftySpell,
you can spell check a word that you'll use in a Labels cell by either
copying that word to the clipboard or by copying it to the spell word
option.
By including 4 different spell check methods, you can spell check from any
GS/OS program that displays the Apple Pull Down menu. That's why we consider
it a Universal Spell Check program.

It's written by Sheppy, but available today from Shareware Solutions II.
Appleworks Classic files are just one of several files that can be imported.
WebWorks does import AW formatting commands and converts them to html.
But...WebWorks is much more than just an AW to html converter. It's an html
source code editor. Once the AW word processing files (or Teach or ASCII)
have been converted to html, then you can use WebWorks to further beautify
and format your web pages.
As time permits, I'll be using WebWorks to colorize my web pages for those
who access the web using something other than lynx. In any case, WebWorks is
currently shipping.
