Turn Off SpellChecking features

[JonWayn]

I have a solution that opens a document in word, navigates the paragraphs,
which could be as many as thousands, and create records for an access table.
The problem I soetimes experience is a message triggered by Word that says
something to the effect: There are too many spelling errors for word to
highlight ....

This document has tons of expressions that are not meant to be spell-checked
and would always fail spellchecking. I could be wrong, but my guess is that ,
if I could somehow turn spell-checking off, that would be the end of this
message being triggered. If I am right, does anyone here know how to turn
spellchecking off?

Otherwise, anyone knows why I get this error message?

Thanks

You need to mark the text with the formatting "do not check spelling
or grammar". To do this without automation, you can select the entire
document, go to Tools > Language > Set Language, and check the
corresponding box. To automate it, I'd need to know what your
"solution" is and whether it can communicate with Word VBA through
COM.

Well, the solution is written in Access and references the Word object model
- if that answers your question. I am not quite sure I know what you mean by
"need to know what your solution is". Please clarify

It can not be done manually. This is a routine that is going to be run daily.

Well, how do I mark the document text with such a formatting through
automation in Word VBA?

 

[Russ]

ActiveDocument.Content.NoProofing = True

Or however your automation refers to that document.
I.e.

Dim adoc As Word.Document
Set adoc = ActiveDocument
Adoc.Range.NoProofing = True

Thanks for your reply. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll post more on the
issue if it doesnt work. I had ran into the ShowSpellingErrors property while
I was waiting for a reply. Since turning that off, I have not had the
problem, which only randomly occurs anyway. Adding this new suggestion wont
hurt anything I suppose.

Thanks again
