[Athen] use of word processor for students testing

[LaBella, Pam]

Hello

We have students with testing accommodations where some are given the use of a computer with Microsoft Word and all its features, some can use a computer with spell/grammar checker only but not Word because it would provide more features to the student, other students are only provided the use of a  basic word processor without spell/grammar checker. On the idea of Docpad or Wordpad.

I am wondering how you accommodate students that have the use of a computer with spell/grammar checker but don't want them having access to a thesaurus or dictionary.   I can't have them use Microsoft Word because there are too many features and they can't use DocPad because there are not enough features.  What are you having students use?
Thanks for your input
