Overview
This example VI makes ActiveX calls to MS Word spell checker.

 
Description
Seeing as I am not very good at spelling I thought I would write a spell checker app. I found myself constantly opening MS word, copying text into MS Word to run the spell checker and then cut and paste to where ever it was I wanted my text. This proved to be laborious so I thought I will write and app that will check my spelling and once it has checked my spelling, copy the corrected text to the clipboard so I can just paste the text where need be saving time.
