SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to run a macro using the Visual Basic for Applications WordBasic object to display the Spelling And Grammar tab of the Options dialog box, the dialog is not displayed.



CAUSE
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. This example converted WordBasic macro duplicates this behavior: Public Sub MAIN Dim dlg As Object: Set dlg = _ WordBasic.DialogRecord.ToolsOptionsGrammar(False) WordBasic.CurValues.ToolsOptionsGrammar dlg WordBasic.Dialog.ToolsOptionsGrammar dlg WordBasic.ToolsOptionsGrammar dlg End Sub



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, change the code to use the following functionally equivalent Visual Basic for Applications command.

For example: Dialogs(wdDialogToolsOptionsSpellingAndGrammar).Show



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
