Problem with SpellingChecked = False

[Mike Stephenson]

Hey Folks,

We have a process that runs at the end of every document that a user creates.
One of the steps is to check the spelling of the document. After that, the user
is presented a complete view of all pages and a simple "end document" yes/no
messagebox.

If the user selects "no", they are placed back into the document to continue
editing.

The next time they press their key to end the document, we want to spellcheck
the entire document again. The reason being that often a user will select "no"
exactly because they accidentally "ignored" a spelling error that they want to
go back and correct.

When they start the end report process, the first thing we do is:
ActiveDocument.SpellingChecked = False
then:
ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling

Unfortunately, if the user selected "Ingore All" from the spellchecker dialog,
the occurences of anything "ignored all" is not rechecked, even though we set
SpellingChecked = False. If the user just did "ignore", the words are
rechecked, but not if they did "ingore all".

I guess we can live with this, but we find it very irritating.

Does anyone know some way to get the spellchecker to TRULY recheck the spelling
for the entire document, even if some words were "ignored all"?

BTW: this is WordXP/2002 that I am playing with at the moment.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

How about the ResetIgnoreAll method?

ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling

the occurences of anything "ignored all" is not rechecked, even though we set

rechecked, but not if they did "ingore all".

Excellent! I didn't think to check under the Application object.

Thanks so much Cindy!
