Any recommendations for a free plug-in to vs 2005 to enable spell-checking

Thanks in advance,

Using VS2005 today I needed to create a test database with a couple of
tables for a quick R&D test.  Instead of opening up SQL Enterprise Tools, I
just used the VS2005 database tools and created a new table.  I added an INT

Which settings are you unable to save?  They all seem to work for me except Smart Indenting.  This is expected because not all languages support Smart Indenting -- for example, Plain Text does not.  When you set "All Languages" to use Smart Indenting, that option will be set for ...
