The robot docxwave@appspot.com will help with importing a Word document, and simple table edits.

When you add the robot to your Wave, it adds a file upload form, which you can use to convert a Word document, including images and tables.

See further https://wave.google.com/wave/?pli=1#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BSie7N_K_C.2

The quality of the conversion will improve as the robot and Wave each mature.

Google Wave already has a built in spell checker, AND a spell checker bot as well. Both of these have been around since before you posted this wish list on Nov 19, 2009

Aside from that, I pretty much agree with the rest of this wish list.

There is already a built-in spell checker, which seems to be reasonably good. There is not a “Check Whole Wave” function (which would be nice), but it does auto-spell-check as you type.

As far as email notifications, you can use an app bot to send emails to you on updates.

Add wave-email-notifications@appspot.com to your contact list. When you add it to a particular wave, everyone in the wave has the option of turning on email notifications.

Don’t use it while you are working on a wave (just uncheck the star), but turn it back on before you log out.

I hope a better system comes out for that as well, but it works okay in the meantime.
