Word should auto correct all mis-spellings then highlight them.

[NickW]

Upon mis-spelling, Word usually does a pretty good job of suggesting the
correct spelling when it recognizes a word has indeed been mis-spelled. The
functionallity is so good that I believe it would be beneficial if Word
automatically correct words on the fly then highlight those corrections to
make certain it is indeed the correct choice. The user could accept the
change and do nothing or right-click to change. Once all corrections have
been "OK'ed" then the user would click a button to accept all changes.

This is already an AutoCorrect option (except they aren't marked). If you
check
Tools > AutoCorrect Options > AutoCorrect (tab) at the bottom is a box to
automatically use spelling suggestions. This is dangerous because they
aren't marked, but if you are observant it is useful. You need to press Undo
to get your original spelling back.

I'm not sure that your suggestion would save me any time, I would still have
to examine the text for changes and accept or not. This isn't likely to be
any less time consuming than checking for spelling marks and changing or
not.
