Hi all,
I want to spell check documents using my custom dictionary only. I do not
want the English dictionary to be running.

How do I disable the english dictionary??

I have added my custom dictionary but the problem is that when english
words are typed they are not marked as errors. they should be because they
are not part of our language.

Please help me out.
If possible let me know how i can use my code to do it (VB or VC++). i don't
want to use macros.

Thanks

This is simply not possible. All text must be formatted either with a
recognized language, or as "no proofing". And the language must be activated
and the spelling tool for that language installed. There is no way to use
only a custom dictionary with Word's internal spell-check.

Oh darn. Thanks so much. Maybe not i'll just have to integrate some other
spell checking engine into Word.
