  Hi OmerKamal, the correction didn't stop the exception. It is in the this statement:

  if (textBox1.Text.Length > 0) The debugger has highlighted this statement with the error:

  "Object reference not set to an instant of object." which I don't quite understand what it means.

  Thanks for helping jbattat

  With using this example, how could I add other text boxes and have the spell checker check it

  I dont see any error in your code for object initialization.

  I would suggest you the following to change;

  1.When Application is set to invisible then document should be also invisible.

  ( i.e in your case for doc1, Object visible=false; )

  2. I dont see any usage of this code;

  doc1.CheckSpelling(

  ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional,

  ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional,

  ref optional, ref optional, ref optional);

  Because, you are getting error count from the Proofreading object. Better would be comment this code.

  3. Before quitting the application it is always recommended to close the all open documents;

  object ObjFalse=false;

  object ObjMissing=Missing.Value;

  doc1.Close(ref ObjFalse, ref ObjMissing, ref ObjMissing);

  Hi, I did use that link and downloaded the the Word object library. while it compiles but I received an exception "object reference not set to an instance of object" in the if statement. It is for the using the Microsoft Word spell check. this is the code:

  private void spellToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  Word.Application app = new Word.Application();

  int errors = 0;

  if (textBox1.Text.Length > 0)

  {

  app.Visible = false;

  object template = Missing.Value;

  object newTemplate = Missing.Value;

  object documentType = Missing.Value;

  object visible = true;

  Word._Document doc1 = app.Documents.Add(ref template, ref newTemplate, ref documentType, ref visible);

  doc1.Words.First.InsertBefore(textBox1.Text);

  Word.ProofreadingErrors spellErrorsColl = doc1.SpellingErrors;

  errors = spellErrorsColl.Count;

  object optional = Missing.Value;

  doc1.CheckSpelling(

  ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional,

  ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional, ref optional);

  label1.Text = errors + " errors corrected ";

  object first = 0;

  object last = doc1.Characters.Count - 1;

  textBox1.Text = doc1.Range(ref first, ref last).Text;

  }

  object saveChanges = false;

  object originalFormat = Missing.Value;

  object routeDocument = Missing.Value;

  app.Quit(ref saveChanges, ref originalFormat, ref routeDocument);

  }

  Can you assist
