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:

   Dialogs(wdDialogToolsOptionsSpellingAndGrammar).Show

STATUS
