01 Jul 2004	Michael Kleder	Very nice. I can see how this could be useful in excluding user passwords that are in the dictionary, for example. I would suggest adding an explanation of what the returned status value means. It looks like a status of -1 means that the submitted text is in the dictionary, and a status of 0 means that it is not. Also, since invoking MS Word's spellchecker under ActiveX requires a good bit of execution time, it would be nice to be able to input and check several words at once while the invokation is open.
