I have added else condition to re-open the file. But it gives error that on that line. I trired many times to re-open the file if user is clicking on "No".

Hello, I guess first I'll ask what you want to accomplish via your script? To verify that the document is spell checked each time before closing?

We have two commercial products which really simplify this, MindSpell and MindSpell Pro.

With MindSpell 1.3 we're adding "spell check" and "suggest" events to the "word" script object. Very easy to have a script iterate all words in your text and check each word.

Even simpler, use Preflight rules with MindSpell Pro. Just open the document, apply the MindSpell Pro profile and generate a preflight report.

Here's a screenshot... With MindSpell Pro 1.1 we're adding suggested words to the 'Fix' text for each misspelled word. It will be in the output of the spelling report as well.

More info here:

The updated versions will be released next week.

Best regards,
