This is basically an enhanced version of the SpellCheck function that I found in MSDN from Microsoft. They left out a couple things.
Inputs
Text
Assumes
Be sure to Reference the MS Word Object Library
Code Returns
Text
VBcodersPublic Function SpellCheck(strText As String, Optional blnSupressMsg As Boolean = False) As String
'This function opens the MS Word Object and uses its spell checker
'passing back the corrected string
On Error Resume Next
Dim oWDBasic As Object
Dim sTmpString As String
If strText = "" Then
If blnSupressMsg = False Then
MsgBox "Nothing to spell check.", vbInformation, App.ProductName
End If
Exit Function
End If
Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
Set oWDBasic = CreateObject("Word.Basic")
With oWDBasic
.FileNew
.Insert strText
.ToolsSpelling oWDBasic.EditSelectAll
.SetDocumentVar "MyVar", oWDBasic.Selection
End With
sTmpString = oWDBasic.GetDocumentVar("MyVar")
sTmpString = Left(sTmpString, Len(sTmpString) - 1)
If sTmpString = "" Then
SpellCheck = strText
Else
SpellCheck = sTmpString
End If
oWDBasic.FileCloseAll 2
oWDBasic.AppClose
Set oWDBasic = Nothing
Screen.MousePointer = vbNormal
If blnSupressMsg = False Then
MsgBox "Spell check is completed.", vbInformation, App.ProductName
End If
End Function
