How do I spell check the text fields in a protected form?
Microsoft Word 2003:
In a protected form, users have a number of Comment sections to complete. Spell check is disabled in protected mode. I need spell check to run on the text fields for the Comment sections. |

There is a macro on the following link that basically unprotects the form,
spell-checks the document, and reprotects the form without losing the data. You will need to open your form, unprotect it, press ALT+F11 to enter the VBE window, click "Insert", "Module", copy and paste this code in, close the VBE window, then reprotect and save your form. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...ProtectDoc.htm Any problems, holler. -- Bill Foley, Microsoft MVP (PowerPoint) Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructor - XP www.pttinc.com Check out PPT FAQs at: http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/ Check out Word FAQs at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/index.htm "Darice Lewis" Darice wrote in message ...
