     This short and sweet function accepts a string containing text to be spell checked, checks the text for spelling using MS Word automation, and then returns the processed text as a string. The familiar MS Word spelling dialog will allow the user to perform actions such as selecting from suggested spellings, ignore, adding the word to a customized dictionary, etc.

I got the error "ActiveX can't create 
object.  It hightlighted this 
line:
Set oWord = 
CreateObject("Word.Basic")
I made 
refrences to both msword, and msoffice. 
 Does anyone know what is causing this 
error.  If you do please email me.  
Thanks.

Steve,
Office 95 MSWord - Uses Word 
Basic which this code refers 
to.
Office 97 MSWord uses VBA (Visual 
Basic for Applications). Which IS 
different to Word Basic
I may be 
wrong but I would say that you are 
using MSWord from Office 97 and this 
may by why you have your 
problem.
Any one have any ideas ?
