This is from a posting I made on Code GURU about two years ago.

Basically If you have Dev-Studio and Word installed on that same machine you can use COM to run the word spell checker on your source. These are Dev-Studio macros that you can either run independantly or assign to a key.


If you have nothing selected it will run through the current document and spell check all the comments. (Both C and C++ style). If you have made a selectio it will spell check the selection.

Spelling errors are displayed in the windows were normal compilation errors appear (with posable alternatives). If you double click the error line your document will update and display the line with the spelling mistake.

Anyway here is the article that I originally posted.
====================================================


Great macro.

I have modified it slightly.


If you select an area it will check the selected text.
If there is no selection it will check all the comments
in a file (both C and C++ style comments)

Any spelling mistakes found are printed in the Dev Studio
"Output" window under the tag "macro". Each line includes the misspelled word and all suggestions.

If you double click a line in the output window the appropriate
line will be displayed.


I have assigned the key combo <CTRL><ALT>s to call SpellCheck.

Notes:

When the file is checked for spellings two passes are made.
The first pass searches for C++ style comments (//)
The second pass searches for C style comments.

The function SpellSelectionF ignores words:
1) That are HTML tokens.
2) Start with the character:
a) '@'
B) '$'

The function SplitLine defines how a line is split into words.
The following characters are currently used to delimit words:
' ' space
' ' tab
'<'
'>'
'('
')'
'.'

These characters are removed from the input stream except '<' and '>'.
These are left so that the function SpellSelectionF can identify HTML
tokens.

The following functions/subs are included below.
