Master-Detail Mail Merge
The DevExpress Rich Text Editor offers comprehensive Mail Merge options for a variety of business requirements.
With it, you can generate many unique document types, including form letters, mailing shots, mailing labels, and personalized business documents.

For advanced use cases, you can implement and register your own URI stream provider to intercept custom field codes. In addition, XtraRichEdit ships with Master-Detail mail merge support,
allowing you to combine the utility of the Document Server and document variables to create custom reports (including catalogs, header/detail invoices or statements).

Integrated Spell Checker
The DevExpress WinForms Spell Checking UI is built-in and does not require any code on your part.
Two functional modes are available to end-users using either toolbar buttons or the editor's Tools menu.
The first option is to enable "Check as You Type" which displays a wavy red line under misspelled words.
A second option is to start a Microsoft Office® style spell checking process that enumerates all words and invokes error correction dialogs for those that are misspelled.
