Spell Checking in SAP

[IanStubbings]

In the Release 6.10 Gui there is a spell check option but this falls rather short of say, the MS Word spell checker.

What we would like to do is to spell check text that has been entered into a standard text edit control in SAP. We were thinking of taking the text, passing it into MS Word via OLE, spell checking it and then passing it back into the control with coloured text for mis-spelled words for example.

Is this possible? Has anyone achieved this or has perhaps another solution?

Any help obviously gratefully receieved.

I think, better have MS Word document embedded on to the SAP screen (in place of text edit control) and have all the features enabled for the user. You can also supress the buttons and tool bar of MS WORD and have your own specific buttons.

In the word document, enable the auto spell check while typing so it will be prompted if it is mis-spelled.

Other option, as you said writing a macro pass the text to the macro to check the spelling but this may be time consuming and might impact the performance compared to the first option...

Thanks and best regards

Hi!

I also recommend you to use an MS Word editor embedded in your screen. That will be easier and flexible. Example programs exist in SAP repository.

Hi,

I have an example posted here in SDN itself.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sapportals.km.docs/documents/a1-8-4/ms word-like spell checker for sap gui fields

(Note: The OCX file which i have with this example is to simplify certain things - we could also achieve the same (without the OCX) with OLE methods as pointed out by Surgu and Serdar)

Many thanks to all the replies. We will try out the OCX route first and then the embedded Word Editor next.

Cheers

Ian
