In VBA, how can I determine if Word has a spelling dictionary for a
particular language installed on that PC?

Hi Andrew,
In VBA, how can I determine if Word has a spelling dictionary for a
particular language installed on that PC?
Click to expand...
I can't find any better way than to search all available drives for
the *.lex file for the language.

In Delphi I can do it as follows:

lang := wdFrench;
langDictionaryInstalled :=
not varIsClear(WordApp.Languages.Item(lang).ActiveSpellingDictionary);
