No no, you have two KWViews in that case !
Each view has exactly one canvas, always.
You have only one KWDocument, though.

The support for "this word is misspelled" is already available in QTextFormat
(see the enum). A format is the thing that each character has (bold, italic, fontsize \
etc.). Formats are shared (via the format collection), so all the characters with the \
same formats in fact simply store a pointer to the same format object.

Anyway, to set a word to mispelled, create a Temp selection with this word
(setSelectionStart/setSelectionEnd), create a format with the misspelled flag
to true, then call setFormat( QTextDocument::Temp, theFormat, QTextFormat::Misspelled \
) so that the misspelled flag gets set in all the letters of the word.

The file autoformat.cc already has the hooks for this. Please have a look in there.
