G’day everyone. I’m looking for a nice, neat simple solution for running a spell check on the contents of some text boxes in a form. The form, which is attached to a Word 2003 template, spits information into a Word document. I would like to use Word’s spelling checker (so that the user gets suggestions for incorrectly spelled words) and I would like to link it to the form so that the user sees the text box with the problem spelling as they are going through the spell check. (I don’t want to check the entire document as it also contains text that has words and abbreviations that are not in use in the standard dictionary Word provides.)

I’ve searched for possible solutions. Most of these are written for Excel and involve opening and then closing an instance of Word, which, since I’m working in Word, wouldn’t work. I’ve seen one solution for Access but the command it uses isn’t available in Word.
