Unfortunately I don't have much information on that matter. I actually told all I know in my first message (quoted later in this message) - it is Microsoft's API, they used it their Office up to version 2000 if I remember correctly and at least one programme used it in its earlier versions - The Bat! e-mail client (rather popular in Russian-speaking countries i.e. CIS). DEH> and where its specification can be found. No information on that. Of course MS must have them but it's unlikely they would help their competitor.

I know just one - The Bat!, there can be others and I think that the first thing to do is to find what programs use it now. People that know some progs to use it should write here for everybody to know just to understand if there is sense to implement the API. On the other hand programs that have to maintain their own spelling checking engines (e.g. Opera browser) may use AOO's one in future if one is implemented. >> Can Common Spelling API (which was in MS Office up to version 2000 as >> far as I know) be implemented in AOO on Windows.
