Bien non, Dale, if you keep both Word and the board open at the same time, and size the windows appropriately, you can type your response in Word immediately, and then, copy/paste to the Board.  
You will have to press the "reply" button in the board, but you have to do that whether you type directly here or if you copy/paste.  
I'm not quite sure what all the other steps you have are.  The way my Word programme is set up, it automatically underlines any word that is mis-spelled in red and anything it thinks is gramatically incorrect in green. You have the choice of changing it or not...no button pressing required.
Or
You can throw caution to the wind, type directly, and if you miss any spelling errors, well, tough noogies, nitpickers be damn, cause will it really matter when we're all dead and gone.
