I am trying to use the word spell checker on a text area.

I have set up a button that calls the function to do the spell checking.

This works if the HTML is on my machine. But if it is on the web or on the

local host it gives an error.

So I figure I have to set up an <object> refering to MS Word. So How do I go about

doing that?



Thanks in advance for your help



The code that I am currently using is:



	str = MLTA.text1.value 'Form name MLTA

	if isempty(str) or isnull(str) or str="" then

		msgbox "Nothing to check!"

	else

		on error resume next

		Set wordobject = CreateObject("word.Application")

		if err.number <> 0 then

		        msgbox "Spell Checking not available"

		else

			wordobject.WindowState = 2

			wordobject.Visible = True

			Set docobject= wordobject.Documents.Add( , , 1, True)

			docobject.Content=str

			docobject.CheckSpelling

			MLTA.text1.value = docobject.Content

			docobject.Close False

			Set docobject = Nothing

			wordobject.Application.Quit True

			Set wordobject = Nothing

			MsgBox "Spell Check Complete"

		end if

	end if
