Word actually knows most likely what part of speech the word is, because
it is in the context of a sentence. If just one word of an entire sentence
is not known to Word, it is definitely not a problem to figure out the
part of speech for that word. Part of speech taggers do a fairly good job
with that and Word must certainly have one built-in for its grammar check.
The other issues you pointed our are a lot harder though. In my opinion,
the future of spell checking will be some hybrid of local content (current
spell checking) and content on the Internet. For example, Google's spell
check is superior to Word's, but only because it uses a lot of data from
websites to build its dictionary, which you can't do with a local and in
comparison rather static dictionary like Word's.

Word has no way of knowing what part of speech the word you added is or,
if
it is a noun, how its plural or possessive is formed or, if it is a verb,
how it is conjugated.

When a new word is added to the dictionary in MS Word, all grammatical
forms
of that word should be automatically recognized so I dont have to keep
adding
new words for different forms of the original word.
