Please disregard...I see the answer now from a post reply on 3/1/06 by
Charles Kenyon that includes the answer in the following MVP link.

I realize now that I didn't search for my subject in this community before
posting a new question - will search first in the future.

Have a great day!

In MS Word 2003, does anyone know why the Spell Check feature is
automatically disabled when a form created in Word is locked but becomes
enabled once the form is unlocked.

It clearly seems programmed to behave this way but I am hoping someone from
Microsoft's development team or other users perusing this area can explain
why.

I have been through MS's Knowledge Base and Word's Help File but to no avail.

Thanks!
