See the article "How to enable the spellchecker in a protected document" at:

Then make use of formfields.
Alternatively, do a PrintPreview or use Ctrl+A to select everything in the
document and then press F9 to update the fields.

Thanks Cindy, but my form doesn't have form fields. Instead, I've left
unprotected sections for the users to type in. Is there anything that can
be
done without having to recreate the form?

Hi ?B?QkNCQw==?=,
I have a form that is protected, but uses unprotected sections for
users to
fill in instead of form fields. This is because the users want to be
able to
use spell check and I don't know how to use macros to make this
possible.
In the form, I'd like to have some information repeat automatically
(e.g.,
when a user types their objective in table 1, it should also appear in
table
2 without retyping). I tried using a REF field, but, but the info
didn't
appear in the 2nd field until after I printed the document. Is there a
way to
make the info appear sooner?
Open the form fields that generate the REF information and activate
"Calculate
on Exit". This will update all the fields in the document.
