Open Option Dialog Box (Word 2000)

[vbauser]

I want to know how can I open the option dialog box by using the send key. I have tried


Sub ShowOptionWindow()
SendKeys "%TO"
End Sub

this command only works on the immediate window. Trying SendKey "%TO" open the options dialog box in vba editor. So what can I do to make it works in Word

[Gary Frieder]

Is:

Dialogs(wdDialogToolsOptions).Show

not an option?

[vbauser]

That works, about if I want to navigate to specific tab in the options dialog box. For example, the spelling tab. Then I may want to check spell as you type false. So can I also do that. After that I can either close the dialog automatically or ask the user to close it.

Thank you

This isn't a general solution, but Word just happens to have some of the Options tabs isolated, perhaps because they are linked from buttons in other dialogs. Try this one:

Dialogs(wdDialogToolsOptionsSpellingAndGrammar).Sh ow

(I only saw one, inconsequential difference between this one-tab dialog and the tab in the Options dialog.)

Actually, upon re-reading your question, the better approach might be to set the property directly in code:

Options.CheckSpellingAsYouType = False
