Case-sensitive Checkbox

Note that the performance of the Spell Checker will be reduced if this option is disabled.

Suggestions Group Box
Determine the speed and accuracy of the initial search for suggested replacements for misspelled words. When a misspelled word is detected a search is automatically made for suggestions.
This option controls the speed and accuracy of the automatic search. Pressing the Suggest button in the Check Spelling dialog box causes an increasingly more accurate (but slower) search for suggestions.
