Use Word Dictionary from VB.Net application

I want to use the Dictionary in Word from a VB.net application.
I have set a reference to Word from the app. and in code i have...

Dim wrdApp as Word.Application
wrdApp = CType(CreateObject("Word.Application"), Word.Application)

Where do I go from here to get to the standard English dictionary?
I have seen a associated property which is...
..CustomDictionarys()
....but I am not sure if I need to use this.

The application is meant to take a string from the user and check to see if
it exists in the Word English_dictonary.
Any general thoughts would be appreciated.
