Yes. Seems like there was even an old file in the downloads section here at one time... spellbound or something like that.
It's been a long time since I've used MS Word's spellchecker in a VFP app - but *if* I remember right, just don't issue a .show() and MS Word shouldn't ever appear on the screen.
