Hi,

I am using Word Automation with MFC. Things are going well, except that I
noticed that when I open up a document or create a new document, misspelled
words are not being underlined with the red squigglies (technical term). I
have looked at all of the options and they seem to be correct. If I open
WORD up directly, the red squigglies show with misspelled words, but not in
the instance of WORD that I open. IF I type a new word I know is misspelled,
like "asdfsadf ", I still do not see the red squiggly.

I noticed that I could hit F7 and the Spelling and Grammar dialog would
show, and my red squigglies would then show. I tried calling
document.CheckSpelling(), and that worked as well, except if there WAS a
misspelled word in the doc, the Spelling and Grammar dialog will also show
up, hidden by another window which makes my app appear to hang. I don't
really want the dialog to show at all, I just want my red squigglies to work.
I have also tried getting the SpellingErrors collection and tried using the
SpellingChecked and ShowSpellingErrors flags to no avail.

There seems to be a global application state set somewhere, because if I
open up any external instances of WORD while mine is still running, the same
thing happens, but if I close my instance and open up another external
instance, it seems to work properly as before.

Thanks for any help

Is the Option for Check spelling as you type turned on?

Options.CheckSpellingAsYouType = True
