Hi

Is there a way I can integrate Textpad's spellchecker with word using a macro?

I want to copy and paste (or just paste if needed) a text from work, spellcheck it in Textpad and send it back corrected to word, preserving the formatting, either just corrected words or the whole text.

Can anyone write this macro for me or tell me about another means to achieve this?

I suppose you could write a VBA macro in Word to: copy the text, invoke a tool like AutoIt or Macro Scheduler to open TextPad, paste the text, run the spelling checker, click Change repeatedly, copy the text, and paste it back into Word.

It would be a lot of effort to get working right though. What does the TextPad spelling checker have that the Word one doesn't?

I use both for quality control as one will catch what the other missed.
