Summary: Do you want all of your spelling errors in one place? Here’s a quick macro that will extract them and put them into their own document. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)
Word includes a power spellchecker that allows you to determine which words in a document need your attention. Sometimes, it might be helpful to have all the misspelled words in one place, rather than throughout the document. If you have this need, the following VBA macro will gather all the misspelled words from one document and place them in a new document.
Sub GetSpellingErrors()
Dim DocThis As Document
Dim iErrorCnt As Integer
Dim J As Integer
Set DocThis = ActiveDocument
Documents.Add
iErrorCnt = DocThis.SpellingErrors.Count
For J = 1 To iErrorCnt
Selection.TypeText Text:=DocThis.SpellingErrors(J)
Selection.TypeParagraph
Next J
End Sub
