It has a basic spell checker and thesaurus, but to work you have to add manually a dictionary (the file must have .tlx extension).

Other functions you can use are: preview and print documents; search for words, copy, paste, undo, format date and time, toggle full-screen mode, insert objects, and bullets; select different fonts, change font size, use bold, italic, underline, change text color, align to left, center or right; change indentation left, right and first line. In the View menu you can visualize or hide toolbar, format bar, ruler, status bar, change to full screen and open the options.

I always preferred this program to the "real" Wordpad. Alas, it refuses to install on my 64-bit Windows 7 system. When I try to run Setup, it immediately informs me it is not compatible with my system.

I have used this app since its first offering...back in the 90s or before. It has worked great for doing small editing and writing projects and is a terrific on the fly notebook utility.
