[RESOLVED] conversion from type 'Range' to type 'String' not valid

[phpman]

I have the following code to use Words spellcheck feature on a RTB. Once you pick the correct word in the spellcheck box and press change I get the error on th efollwoing line

strResult = Left(objDoc.Content, Len(objDoc.Content) - 1)

I tried to use CType() but still complains.

If (Len(t.Text) = 0) Then
                'nahhhhhhhhhhh
            Else
                'App.OleRequestPendingTimeout = 999999
                objWord = CreateObject("word.Application")
                objWord.Visible = False
                Select Case objWord.Version
                    'Office 2000, xp, 2k3
                    Case "9.0", "10.0", "11.0", "12.0"
                        objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add(, , 1, True)
                        'Office 97
                    Case Else
                        objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add
                End Select

                objDoc.Content = t.Text
                objDoc.CheckSpelling()
                objWord.Visible = False
                strResult = Left(objDoc.Content, Len(objDoc.Content) - 1)
                'correct the carriage returns
                strResult = Replace(strResult, Chr(13), Chr(13) & Chr(10))

                If t.Text = strResult Then
                    ' There were no spelling errors, so give the user a
                    ' visual signal that something happened
                    MsgBox("The spelling check is complete.", vbInformation + vbOKOnly, "Spelling Complete")
                End If
                'Clean up
                objDoc.Close(False)
                objDoc = Nothing
                objWord.Application.Quit(True)
                objWord = Nothing

                ' Replace the selected text with the corrected text. It's important that
                ' this be done after the "Clean Up" because otherwise there are problems
                ' with the screen not repainting
                t.Text = strResult
            End If

[.paul.]

try this:

Dim strResult As String = Strings.Left(objDoc.Content.Text, Len(objDoc.Content.Text) - 1)
