Excellent so far,<br />
Just one more thing and you can have the points.<br />
How can I get it to give me only the top option and not a list of all choices?<br />

I'm not positive, but I think the first item in the list after a call to GetSpellingSuggestions is the best suggestion and it goes downhill from there. &nbsp;That seems to be the way Word produces them.

Thanks for the prompt response.

You could test for the first item that meets the SpellingErrorType &nbsp;condition if you are concerned that you might receive Capitalization errors before &quot;Not in Dictionary&quot; errors like:<br />
<br />
If suggs.SpellingErrorType = wdSpellingNotInDictionary Then<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; StatusBar = &quot;Unknown word&quot;<br />
End If<br />

Hi there,<br />
I am trying to create an app that utilizes Word's spell check functionality, but I am having a hard time figuring out what to do when the CheckSpelling() method comes back with a false value. &nbsp;I will award the points to anyone who can show &nbsp;me an example. &nbsp;BTW I base my assumptions on using the Word Object and I instatiate it like so:<br />
Public WordTool As New Word.Document<br />
with a reference in the project to &quot;Microsoft Word 8.0 Object libraray&quot;<br />
Thanks in advance<br />

Spell Checking

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
