Thanks Doug!

The reason that oWord.Visible is right after CheckSpelling and not after WindowState is that oWord won't be visible by default, but the Spell Checker apparently sets Visible true. I was trying (with limited success) to, at the beginning of the code, default the Word state to minimized and, therefore, during that brief time it becomes visible, it's minimized and not a pain in the user interface.

>Great post! One suggestion: add oWord.Visible = .F. after oWord.WindowState = 2; that way, Word doesn't appear in the Taskbar (except for the brief flash after the spelling dialog is closed, which you handle), and the user isn't tempted to click on it, which does baaad things <g>.
