Hook to grammar check

[hafabee]

I have a VBA macro that loops through the current document
highlighting certain sentences.
I would like to highlight sentences that Word's grammar check says are
passive voice.
Is it possible to hook into Word's grammar check functions like this?

No, I'm afraid not.

Ouch.
Is there a way for a VBA macro to launch Word's grammar check just
looking for passive voice sentences?
Thanks.

I don't think so, no.

Closest you could get would be to use SendKeys to change the
settings in the dialog box for the Grammar Settings, but that would
then involve actually displaying the dialog box. Probably not
something you want to do...
