When using this function for a textbox ---------->

VB Code:

Public Sub SpellCheck(ByRef TextObj As TextBox)

Works ok, might want to put the cursor back to where it was before.

I don't understand why does it have to mess with the Clipboard ?

Because, like in my SpellChecker™, by using the clipboard you retain the compatibility of the new lines.

So it worked allright for those of you who used it?
