  I'm getting a 500 server error when I am using the MSWordProvider (the other providers work ok).  I have word installed correctly on the server so I don't think that is the issue.  Here is the full text of the error:

/Telerik.RadSpellCheckHandler.ashx undefined

Obeject Reference not set to an instance of an object.

 
 
Exception information:
    Exception type: NullReferenceException
    Exception message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hi Bob ,

The new RadSpell for ASP.NET AJAX control does not support MS Word spellchecking, due to interoperability problems with the MsWordAdapter.dll. The problem is already logged in our bug tracking system.

As a side note, you should be aware that MS Word spellchecking uses significant amount of server resources and if a lot of users spellcheck their documents at the same time, this could considerably slow down your server. That is why my suggestion is to choose one of the other spellcheck algorithms SpellCheckProvider="EditDistanceProvider" or SpellCheckProvider="PhoneticProvider". The PhoneticProvider is convenient for the English, German and French dictionaries.
