Load Dictionary and Refresh ActiveDocument

[krish]

Hello all,

We are trying to add a custom dictionary in Word and need the
ActiveDocument to be updated with the newly added dictionary. Here's
what I mean:

Using this code:
With CustomDictionaries
.ClearAll
.Add( _
"C:\Documents and Settings\goundarn\Application Data
\Microsoft\Proof\CUSTOM.DIC" _
).LanguageSpecific = False
.Add("C:\Documents and Settings\goundarn\Desktop\test.dic").
_
LanguageSpecific = False
.ActiveCustomDictionary = CustomDictionaries.Item( _
"C:\Documents and Settings\goundarn\Application Data
\Microsoft\Proof\CUSTOM.DIC" _
)
End With


we are adding the dictionary to Word. Once we have added the
dictionary we need all the words in this dictionary to be
automatically updated if they have been marked for SpellChecking
before. Basically, we want the red underline of a word go away as
soon
as we add the dictionary to Word. The dictinary gets added
successfully but a word previously indicated as with spelling error
still shows this.

How can we apply the dictionary to refresh the document silently,
without the prompt to check spelling?

Thanks,
Neil.

Add these lines to the end of your macro:

ActiveDocument.SpellingChecked = False
ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling

Hi Jay,

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it.

I have already tried it, but that is not what I need. when calling
CheckSpelling word displays the CheckSpelling screen and I don't want
this prompt to come up.

All I am trying to do is that i want to add a dcitionary and
automatically remove the red underlines (wrong spelled word mark) from
the words that are in this dictionary. The dictionary is loaded
correctly but the words do still remain underlined.

Is there a way to refresh the whole document by applying this
dictionary?

Thanks,
Neil

I think that you need to set the LanguageID for the document so that it
matches the new dictionary

ActiveDocument.Range.LanguageID = wdFrench

for example.
