Nice design by the way. But getting back to using the right tool for the job......... I have to maintain my position about InDesign being the proper tool for print design.
If Photoshop did the job for you perfectly, you would not be complaining about the lack of a spell check engine. Adobe Creative Suite was designed to work together with tight integration; Illustrator for drawing and creating vector art, Photoshop for digital images and InDesign for adding text and combining the elements from the three programs into a final print package. InDesign also has a pre-flight print check that finds inconsistencies with color profiles, missing linked files and fonts. It packages the entire project (into one folder) for output to print including image files and font files.

I understand what you are saying, but I still respectfully disagree. If there is a spellchecker in a program, there should, in my opinion, be an option to auto check using that programs function, of which is a spell checker. The other argument, that my work flow is not as efficient as it could be if I were to use InDesign for creating my ads, is a different story. For me, PS does exactly what I need it to do, sans auto checking my spelling, w/o opening another program. The printer only want jpg files these days using Adobe 1998 or sRGB. The color is close enough. I don;t even take jobs that require me and a printer to pow wow with each other for perfect color reproduction in print media. I mean I would do that, but the cost of such procedure is beyond what my clients want to pay. In other words, the colors they see in the print media are close enough, to the real widget and to get them much closer the printer would need to change their work flow--and probably the magazine editor would need to move to more color accurate paper!
It's just a wish-auto check spelling before closing document.
