I'm using a template. I tried to move the macro as you suggested from
normal.dot to my template using the organizer, however "move" is not an
option, so I tried "copy" and it said "the project item cannot be copied". I
guess I don't know how I move the macro to have it embedded into the
template. Can you try again, maybe with a few more details?
Thank you.

workers, then save it as a template and distribute the template. Users can
then create new forms from the template.
Move the macro from normal.dot to the template using the organizer. If you
want the macro to also print the document, then add the line
ActiveDocument.PrintOut
immediately before End Sub
If you want it to run from the print button on the standard toolbar then
rename the macro
Sub FilePrintDefault()

Thank you very much for that. I was able to build the macro and
apply it to my toolbar and it is working well.
Now my next challenge is that I would like to insert it into the
document . I don't want to have to build macros on 70 company
computers, so I would like to have it in the document, ideally since
this is spellcheck, I would like to have it initiallize upon
selecting the "print" button. Is this possible? If so, can you walk
me through it?
Thank you very much!

If this is a simple form without separate sections in which you
simply want to check the field entries, you can simplify the code to
the following - adding your password between the quotes at the two
locations indicated.
The error you are experiencing suggests you have not added the
CheckProtectedSection routine listed on the quoted page.
See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
If you want to spell check a form, then the user of the form must
have access to the macro, which can be saved in the form template
the user's normal.dot template, or the document itself, but if saved
in the document there are macro security implications which could
render it unavailable to many users. You can either run it from a
toolbar button or on exit from a field the user will tab out of.
Sub SpellCheckForm()
Dim i As Integer
Dim bProtected As Boolean
'Unprotect the file
If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType wdNoProtection Then
bProtected = True
ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:=""
End If
'check each formfield for spelling
For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.FormFields.Count
ActiveDocument.FormFields(i).Select
#If VBA6 Then
Selection.NoProofing = False
#End If
Selection.LanguageID = wdEnglishUK
Selection.Range.CheckSpelling
Next
'Reprotect the document.
If bProtected = True Then
ActiveDocument.Protect _
Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, Password:=""
End If
End Sub

I am having the same problem with a document using Word 2003. I
have tried following those directions in the link, but I get an
error. It errors on the line that reads..... "Call
CheckProtectedSection(oSection)"
Any suggestions?
Second question, how can you put this into the template for
spellchecking in lieu of having a to build a macro and having it on
the toolbar?
Thank you,
CJ

Yes, it should be easier than that, but it isn't.
