User defined type error when tyring to use word's SpellingSuggetions

[MrLudwig]

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I get a compile error saying 'User-defined type not defined' when trying to declare a variable of type spellingsuggestions (word automation).

I can create an instance of the word object and use various other methods/properties of it which all work fine. But as soon as I try to

Dim SpellSuggestions as wdapp.spellingsuggestions

I get the error.

wdApp is created using the code

Dim wdApp As Object
Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")

I'm fairly new at this automation stuff, so if its a stupid mistake on my part that is glaringly obvious to everyone else, please forgive my ignorance.

Cheers.
