WD97: No Dialog With WordBasic.Dialog.ToolsOptionsGrammar

Last reviewed: February 11, 1998
Article ID: Q165187
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to run a macro using the Visual Basic for Applications WordBasic object to display the Grammar Options dialog, the dialog does not display.

CAUSE

This example macro duplicates this behavior:

Public Sub MAIN()

   Dim dlg As Object: Set dlg = _
   WordBasic.DialogRecord.ToolsOptionsGrammar(False)
   WordBasic.CurValues.ToolsOptionsGrammar dlg
   WordBasic.Dialog.ToolsOptionsGrammar dlg
   WordBasic.ToolsOptionsGrammar dlg
End Sub

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, change the code to use the functionally equivalent Visual Basic for Applications command.

For example:

   Dialogs(wdDialogToolsOptionsSpellingAndGrammar).Show
