Wish to create an add-on lexicon for CSAPI speller

[Martin Kotulla]

Hello,

we wish to create additional spell-checking dictionaries ("add-in
lexicons" in Microsoft lingo) for Microsoft Office.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q262605&
mentions that one should contact Microsoft to get access to the required
lexicon creation tools.

Maybe I'm dense but all contact information on this page leads to paid
support options, for example, if I have a macro problem with Microsoft
Office.

Who at Microsoft do I need to get in touch with?

Try searching the MSDN site on the term CSAPI

Thank you Cindy

I found the following comment at
http://www.codeproject.com/cpp/csapi.asp#xx990454xx

"First you have to get the compiler and the license from microsoft. It
involves signing some paper work as well. After that, you have to a lot of
tricks."

Do you know if a license is still needed from MS or everything is in CSAPI ?

Thank you,
Marc Lavaud
