Justin,
I don't know what version of Word you have, but XP seems to do fine with
correcting city names.

Good afternoon!
I know aspell and pspell are available but pspell won't work in my
Windows
environment. Does anyone know how to tie into Word's spell checker
using php
or another spell check option? What I need is a way to check spelling
on
city/state names and select the most appropriate if the user mangles
the
words.
U, does is Word actually capable of City/State names? To the best
of my knowledge (I don't use Word), Word checks against a dictionary
(US/UK/AU English, etc)... I wouldn't think these dictionaries would
extend as far as all City State names applicable for that dictionary.
That's insane.
Although technically, you *could* add them all to Word's dictionary.
However, my point is, Spell-checking of City State names isn't
common, because it's too hard for the dictionaries to keep up with the
list.
So, if Word can't offer this feature, why would your web application
need it?
Also, given the global nature of the web, you'd have a LOT of data
entry to do :)
