Alarms on spelling mistakes

[RRB]

Hi friends!

Is it possible to program Word (I guess via macro so maybe this should be in the VBA section) that every time a Word is misspelled, i.e. it is not in the dictionary to check spelling an alarm goes off (plays an audio file).

I would suppose there is a way to "catch" the "completed word" event. Right?

Thank you and have a good day!

Susan,

I do not know whether it is possible. Seriously, though, you do not want this!

1. It will slow Word down.
2. It will beep when you know to correct before it beeps.
3. It will drive your users nuts.

Word has the red squiggly lines which should be sufficient. You can also press F7 to run a spell check on the document and go through perceived errors one at a time.
