Hi there,
I am looking an add-on for Word that tracks all spelling errors no matter if they are corrected automatically or not. Is there such a thing? If so - where? If not, does anyone have an idea how to do that quick&dirty in VBA? I have no problems of sorting out the amount of unsorted data by hand, with 'R' or whatever after that, the main thing is to get the data together...

What do you mean? A former spelling error corrected automatically is not a spelling error anymore.

You are right, but I want a tool, that tracks it before it is corrected

I can't be absolutely certain because I have not performed an exhaustive search or tried to produce one myself, but I would believe that no such tool exists or is possible with VBA.

Word does not have a VBA change event that detects keystrokes so with VBA you are unable to determine what was just typed.

Besides how could you possible determine what a typist intends to type. Assume a typist intend to type "pipe" but types "pie" then hits backspace and then types "pe"

Clearly pie is a spelling error in that sense but corrected by the typist. Or maybe not. Perhaps the typist intended to type "I hit in him in the face with a pie" and then changed his/her mind and typed "I hit him in the face with a pie backspace pe.

You could never know.

Good luck and sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
