WD2000: Run-time Error 9132 Using GetSpellingSuggestions Method

ID: Q224722

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you try to use the Visual Basic for Applications GetSpellingSuggestions method with the wdWildcard or wdAnagrams constant of the SuggestionMode argument, the following error message appears:

Run-time error '9132': The speller does not support <suggestionmode> mode.

where <suggestionmode> equals either wildcard or anagram based on the constant you use.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design. The Visual Basic for Applications GetSpellingSuggestions method no longer supports the use of the wdWildcard or wdAnagrams constant with the SuggestionMode argument.

The Visual Basic for Applications GetSpellingSuggestions method Help documentation is incorrect in that it was not updated to omit the information about using the wdWildcard or wdAnagrams constant with the SuggestionMode argument.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
