Examples

The following code example uses the CheckSpelling method to check the spelling of words in the document. While checking, Word ignores capitalization and suggests alternate spellings. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.

Private Sub DocumentCheckSpelling()

    Me.Range(0, 0).Text = "Allways check your speling. " 
    Me.CheckSpelling(IgnoreUppercase:=True, AlwaysSuggest:=True)
End Sub
private void DocumentCheckSpelling()
{
    object ignoreUppercase = true;
    object alwaysSuggest = true;

    // Add a sentence with mispellings to the document. 
    object start = 0;
    object end = 0;
    string newText = "Allways check your speling. ";
    Word.Range range1 = this.Range(ref start, ref end);
    range1.Text = newText;

    this.CheckSpelling(ref missing, ref ignoreUppercase, ref alwaysSuggest,
        ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
        ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
}
