Someone had Posted some code to use the M$ word synonym Checker. After seeing his example, I decided that there was a much Better way. So This is my even Better & faster way of doing this which keeps word Hidden, and does NOT require the M$ Word 9 Object Library.

Sorry, but you'll still need the object. You've even got it part way down with CreateObject! You have simply used it a different way. All you are successfully doing is allowing yourself to compile without the object. Users are still going to need it, and so are you to run it... (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
One way of doing this w/o word at all would be to create a small dictionary of words and then just calculate the Soundex value of each, comparing the Soundex value to the SoundEx value of the word in question, thus finding all synonyms...no M$ at all save the VB runtime we already paid for, eh?
