i want to perform a spell and grammar check in a minority language on the
text in ms word.the checker is in perl and is used at the command line - dos
prompt by typing the name of the perl module and the .txt file you wish to
check for errors.

i am sending the text from a word document by using the vba behind word to a
.txt file. I want to do this as the user types so that it is continuosly
checking spelling. I think i will need to use some kind of loop.

The grammar check will not work on a .doc file as there is a lot of
formatting - extra white spaces.
