Hi All,
Can we get the spelling mistake words separately from the word file
I have 10 word files and each has 80,000+ words
Can anyone hep with a script that can check each file and copy the spell mistake word and if possible the grammar mistake words to a separate file?
Like check where words re in red and green and copy?
thanks

Can i get 2 files one is spellings and another is grammar issues
Also can it refer a dictionary to skip words that i added?
As the output of 1,20,000 words were 33,000 mistakes
if i can add the dictionary words i have so it can skip them while scanning

Okay try the following code for 2 seperate files:
I'm not clear what you are referring to regarding a "dictionary to skip words that I added". I mean if those words are added to the dictionary within Word, they should already be skipped during a spell check.
Sub GetSpellingGrammarErrors()
'if all of the documents are in the same folder
Dim strDocFile As String
Dim strDocPath As String
Dim e As Long
Dim eDoc As Document
Dim gDoc As Document
Dim cDoc As Document
Set eDoc = Documents.Add(DocumentType:=wdNewBlankDocument)
Set gDoc = Documents.Add(DocumentType:=wdNewBlankDocument)
strDocPath = "C:\Path\" 'enter the path to your file here
strDocFile = Dir(strDocPath & "*.doc*")
While strDocFile <> ""
Set cDoc = Documents.Open(strDocPath & strDocFile)
If cDoc.SpellingErrors.Count > 0 Or cDoc.GrammaticalErrors.Count > 0 Then
For e = 1 To cDoc.SpellingErrors.Count
eDoc.ActiveWindow.Selection.TypeText cDoc.SpellingErrors(e).Text & vbCr
Next e
For e = 1 To cDoc.GrammaticalErrors.Count
gDoc.ActiveWindow.Selection.TypeText cDoc.GrammaticalErrors(e).Text & vbCr
Next e
End If
cDoc.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
strDocFile = Dir
Wend
Set cDoc = Nothing
Set eDoc = Nothing
Set eDoc = Nothing
End Sub

1. Is there a way that we can backup a custom dictionary?
2. How can we add a custom dictionary
As these files are too many
I have few 1,000 words in my excel that i need to add to word dictionary and then give this dictionary to 5+ people who will check these files
So these words are not shows as spelling issues to them?

What version of Office are you using?
What you can try is the following:
Now, assuming that you are using Word 2010, you and the other users you sent the Custom2.DIC file to should do the following in order to add the new custom dictionary for Word to reference:
Doing the above should work and prevent those words from being added as spelling errors.
Open your Excel file, select and copy the list of words
Open Notepad and paste the text you copied from Excel
Save the Notepad file as Custom2.DIC
make sure the file type is set to All types (*.*) otherwise
the file will be saved as Custon2.DIC.txt
You can distribute the Custom2.DIC file to the other users who can save the file in their My Documents folder.make sure the file type is set to All types (*.*) otherwise
the file will be saved as Custon2.DIC.txt
Now, assuming that you are using Word 2010, you and the other users you sent the Custom2.DIC file to should do the following in order to add the new custom dictionary for Word to reference:
Select File | Options | Proofing
Click the Custom Dictionaries... button
Click the Add... button
Search for and select the Custom2.DIC file and click Open
Click OK
Doing the above should work and prevent those words from being added as spelling errors.
