Sorry John to just jump in but I did have a question related to the topic. I have downloaded your class and it works great Thanks. I just wanted to know if you have found a way to make Word check RTF format information. I am trying to send the information from a rich text control to Word via the clip board and for some reason Word only see the info as simple text, not RTF (so it spell check the rtf formating info). I have looked at Foxtools to see if there is a way to specify the 'type' of clipboard info before calling Word, but have had no luck. Thanks agin for the Word Spell check class.
