Office 10 questions

[UberGeek]

although ive been a mac user for almost a decade now, ive only just recently moved over to os x after holding out for almost three years with os9. ive got all my graphics/dtp/web publishing apps on x (except for sibelius and pro tools, still on 9). i actually got office 10 even before os x... but now i have a question, actually two:

1. is it possible to make word use the built in spell checker of os x? i do lots of web code editing on textedit and its annoying having to add words to the dictionary twice, one for os x and one for office.

2. word et al wont allow me to save filenames beyond 31 characters... is there a way around this?

thanks!
