Martin,
The first problem I see is that there is no object called:
ActiveExceptionDictionariesExceptionDictionaries
You'd just want ActiveExceptionDictionaries.Item(1)
The second problem I see is that you're trying to set the value of
MyWord to something called ExceptionEntry. But there is no object
explicitly called ExceptionEntry. Instead, that's the type of object you
get back from the Item method of a single ExceptionDictionary object
(which is what you get back from the Item method the
ActiceExceptionDictionaries object).
If you know for sure that the exception dictionary you're interested in
is in fact the first item of the ActiveExceptionDictionaries collection,
you might do:
Set myExpDict = ActiveExceptionDictionaries.Item(1)
This would give you back a single ExceptionDictionary object. To get a
word from that dictionary, use the ExceptionDictionary object's Item method:
Set firstEntry = myExpDict.Item(1)
That will give you back an ExceptionEntry object, which contains the
word and translation information you're looking for:
myWord = firstEntry.Word
myTrans = firstEntry.Translation
Make sense?

Hi all,
How do I get at the word and translate properies of the active exception
dictionary. I want to be able to point window-eyes at an exception entry and
speak either the word or translation strings. I tried to do this with the
following code, but it doesn't work.
Dim MyEntry, MyWord, MyHotKey
Set MyHotKey = Keyboard.RegisterHotkey("d", "HandleHotKey")
Function HandleHotKey()
Set MyEntry = ActiveExceptionDictionariesExceptionDictionaries.Item(1)
MyWord = ExceptionEntry.Word
Speak MyWord
End Function
warm regards.
