I want to set up a Macro that will spellcheck a document when closing,
similiar to Outlook does when sending a message.

Why re-invent the wheel when all you have to do is set tools options
spelling & grammar - check spelling as you type for Word to do what the
option says? But if you insist


Sub AutoClose()
ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling
End Sub

will do the trick

Sorry, I probably wasn't clear enough. I want to do more than just spell
check as I type, and I do have those options set in Tools already. I need to
write this macro for someone who doesn't see the squiggly lines and who never
remembers to click spell check before they close a document. They are very
used to Outlook where, when they click Send, the document is automatically
spell checked before sending.
