TeXShop, as a Cocoa app already supports Mac OS X's native
spell-checking system.
The Word Services you describe are a Carbon legacy thing and should've
been up-dated by Apple to be an equal citizen (coeval?) with the extant
system services.
Isn't there a version of iSpell for Mac OS X which works through
Services yet?
I'd rather see TeXShop provide the Services which TeX did:
- (La)TeX <- this would appear in other apps and allow them to access
TeXShop to get the file being edited TeX'd. Having this would allow one
to use a (Carbon) editor which supports Word Services if it also
supported Mac OS X Services
- TeX eq -> eps <- this would work in say a drawing or layout app, type
the TeX source for an equation (say for a label), select it, activate
the service, and get back in its stead, the formatted equation. Guess
it'd be a ``epdf'' now.
Ages ago, I suggested Apple should make Contextual Menu Items equivalent
to / available as Services and vice versa....

i can confirm this;
the same happens for EPS files coming from OS9, but then its LaTeX that
gets the buffer size exceeded.
you can change the encoding using BBedit or, if you already moved
completely to TeXShop, use the script that Richard Koch provides on his
homepage:
http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/fixm.tar.gz
usage: fixm <oldfile> <newfile>
(where <oldfile> and <newfile> should be distinct, or you will get a
bunch of empty files, like i did when i first tried it ;-)
cheers, martin.
