I'm developing a spell checker for our local language using VC++. it is to be
implemented as an Add-in for Word. So how do i disable the english spell
checker progmatically using my code? Also will it be possible for the add-in
to work with all versions of word???????

Will it be possible for the Add-In to work with all versions of Word? Not
unless you have some kind of coding skill I haven't heard about. Word 97 and
later, yes. Earlier versions use a different file format.

That really depends on how your spell checker is supposed to work? Are you using
the CSAPI, or just creating an Addin with no link whatsoever to Word's internal
proofing tools?

no i'm just creating a spell checker without much link to the internals of MS
Word.
I mean i am using MySpell for my spell check engine. i just want to disable
Word's spell check engine so that it doesn't conflict with MySpell

Have you tried setting the option for not checking spelling?

   Application.Options.CheckSpellingAsYouType = False

That will prevent the red squiggles. Then you'd have to have a project with a
procedure named ToolsSpelling in Word to circumvent the internal command.

IOW, there is no way to simply turn off the spelling engine, although it could
be uninstalled.

The only other possibility would be to format all the text with "no proofing" as
the language.
