What you want to write sounds like an extension for MS Office. In order to suggest the next word during ordinary typing, it would have to behave like the "spelling checker", that is it would have to monitor every keystroke entered. Such additions are typically written in VBA, which is a version of Visual Basic for MS Office applications.

There must be tons of stuff about VBA on the 'net. I suggest that you read up on macro extensions for MS Office, and pay close attention to methods for "hooking" the keyboard, that is reading the input text as it is typed.

I don't think you can use the same app for all instances.

Daniel is mostly right. You need to write an approbiate extension for each app and the use cases. But mostly these extension can somehow interact with a C-dll, in which you can do the dictionary or other work.

A good starting point for that process in MS Office is Developer Overview of the User Interface for the 2007 Microsoft Office System.
