Why do I need Microsoft Word in order to use Capturx Forms for Excel?

Capturx requires access to the Microsoft Office dictionary which is only available via Microsoft Word. Capturx includes powerful handwriting recognition software which enables teams to convert written text to digital text for use in Office and other applications. Capturx improves recognition accuracy by matching ink strokes to a standard dictionary. Office also has a dictionary to which people can “add words” as they edit email and Office files. To take advantage of this extended set of custom words, Capturx adds any custom entries in the Office dictionary to your Capturx dictionary. In order to use Capturx Forms for Excel, teams must have Word installed. Capturx only leverages the dictionary, so teams do not need to have Word running in order to use Capturx.
