I have created a form in word using the Forms option. We are using it to
administer tests and the students are required to type in the text
field.....but it is not allowing them to Spell Check....that option is grayed
out......They can unlock the form and "Spell Check" is no longer grayed out
but it will NOT spell check what was already typed in the field!

Doing a search for "spell check form", I found the following:
