1. Yes, my mistake

oWordApp.CheckLanguage = .t.

2.

FOR EACH oDictionary IN oWordApp.Dictionaries
    ? oDictionary.Name, oDictionary.LanguageId
ENDFOR

>That's great! Thank you very much! :)

>To summarize your code: My spellcheck code should paste the text to be spellchecked into Word, select this text, set this selected text's language property to a specific language id. By setting the text's language property, I don't have to change the default dictionary - Word will recognize the change in language and perform its spellcheck relative to the text's language property. Wow - that's a mouthful!

>Two quick questions:
>
>1. Should the oWordApp.CheckLanguage value be .T. vs. True in your code below?
>
>2. Any ideas on how I can verify that a given language's (locale's?) dictionary is present before?
