Hopefully this is my last reply on this thread. I discovered after opening Word normally after a few dozen tests, that it tried to "recover" all those "lost" documents. The following demo script has that fixed.
<?php function spellcheck($string){ $word = new COM("word.application") or die("The spellcheck function requires MS Word."); $word->Visible = 0; $word->Documents->Add(); $word->Selection->TypeText($string); $word->ActiveDocument->CheckSpelling(); $word->Selection->WholeStory(); $corrected = $word->Selection->Text; $word->ActiveDocument->Close(false); $word->Quit(false); $word->Release(); $word = null; return $corrected; } if ($text) { $checkedtext= spellcheck($text); print($checkedtext); } else { ?> <form action="spellcheck.php" method="post"> Enter Text<textarea name="text"></textarea> <input type="submit"> </form> <?php } ?> J Wynia phpgeek.com -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
