>Is there a way to retrieve the collection returned by Word.GetSpellingSuggestions("some-word") method?

You need to traverse the collection and grab the data. My Advisor Answers piece in the July issue was about this. The key code you need is:

oSuggestions = oWord.GetSpellingSuggestions("whatever")
FOR EACH oSuggestion in oSuggestions
* oSuggestion.Name contains this suggested spelling.
ENDFOR
