I don't want to do this because the product being developed is something that spans across multiple clients and it's too much to expect that everyone will have Word 97 and up installed on their machines. We need a COM add-in to work around this problem.

>>Can anyone tell me something about the Escribe spell checker that's sold by Hallogram? They don't offer a demo version of their product but do offer a 30 day money back guarantee. This seems a bit flaky to me. Has anyone dealt with them before or can anyone offer suggestions for different products?
>>And there's no need to suggest Strategic Edge's spell checker. I've already crossed that off the list of contenders.
