haha, this is funny, I'm also looking for this functionality for about a week or so. My experience (for what is worth) There is a SpellChecker in the telerik Suite. This one works and if you use .net TextBoxes you can use the BackGroundChecking to get a Word-like Spellcheck (so the misspelled words are red underlined or background marked). This Telerik SpellChecker does not have many options to set how to control the way a text is checked but maybe it is good enough for your situation While I'm here I will ask a question about this because I already wanted to ask this on the forum: Is there some way that I can place a .Net TextBox on a Progress Frame? If there is I could use this BackGroundChecking on a Progress GUI window. I also got an SpellChecker ActiveX working that has many more options to control the way a text is checked but I have no idea if I can use an ActiveX (OCX) on a .Net Form (again because I would like to get the backGroundChecking). So to get this BackGroundChecking I'm now trying to get a dll-version (of that ActiveX) working but @this moment I can't get that working. I'm working with the support of that company to see what goes wrongh with that. So finally it depends on how much you want to control what rules need to be checked on your text and if you use a Progress widget or a .Net TextBox and what type of check that you want (BackGround while typing or on save or one some action). These 2 options (Telerik and ActiveX/dll) do not use the MSWORD spellcheck so maybe you will not be interested in these but I just wanted to mention about these Regards Didier
