I've encountered a somewhat annoying problem with the Spell pgm.
posted some days back by Eric Terrel.. it occasionally wants
to trash the file that is being  checked for incorrect
spellings.  At one point I backspaced all the way over a word in the
dialog box which asks if the spelling is Ok, add to dictionary or not,
etc., and then selected 'NO'.  The program quit, but it seemed to cut
off my file at the point which it had reached (ie. till where it had
checked for incorrect spellings).  On other occasions I'm not sure
what I did but the file was chomped.  So, it's probably a good idea to
make a copy of the file before running Spell on it (till the bug is
fixed).
