Help Spell Check in Word 2007 Protected Documents
I have created a protected form and noticed it didn't spell check when I
tested as a user. I searched and found http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...ProtectDoc.htm I copied and pasted into VBE re-protected the document closed and opened as a user and still unable to spell check. Is there something I'm missing. Perhaps clearer instructions? Could someone please walk me through this step by step? Perhaps I don't have a full understanding of Macros?? |

Note that you will have to run the macro manually, for example by assigning
a toolbar button. See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Ikeyre" wrote in message ...

Thank you,
I just realized the document is being checked, just not the text boxes. How do I get spell checker to work in the text boxes? I've used text control.

You are referring to text form fields? When the macro was created, content
controls didn't exist, so I don't know what effect (if any) the macro has on them. Note that for more specific assistance with the macro, you may want to ask in a programming newsgroup such as microsoft.public.word.vba.general. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Ikeyre" wrote in message ...

Yes I'm referring to the text form fields. Good idea posting to the other
newsgroup. I did change the form from text form fields to Rich Text and then the code from http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...ProtectDoc.htm and it seems to work by replacing automatically misspelled words for example if you were to spell familey it would correct same as apperently would correct it. Thats the best I could do for now. thanks for your help! "Stefan Blom" wrote: You are referring to text form fields?

"Do not check spelling or grammar" is the default setting for Text Form Fields.
This is what I found that worked: Unprotect the document Select all (CTRL+A) REVIEW tab SET LANGUAGE in the PROOFING group CLEAR the DO NOT CHECK SPELLING OR GRAMMAR checkbox OK Now you should be able to spell check text contained in the Text Form fields. This is the macro I found years ago and modified to include the above steps. Note: The last line ("ActiveDocument.Protect Type:...") is from the time when Text Form Fields were automatically reset when the document was filled out, unprotected, then protected again. Probably not needed now. Sub RunSpellcheck() ' ' RunSpellCheck Macro ' This macro selects the Speller's CHECK DOCUMENT to recheck the spelling, ' selects the entire unprotected document, applies English(US), then ' runs Spell Check. ' Application.ResetIgnoreAll ActiveDocument.SpellingChecked = False ActiveDocument.GrammarChecked = False Selection.WholeStory Selection.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS Selection.NoProofing = False Application.CheckLanguage = True If Options.CheckGrammarWithSpelling = True Then ActiveDocument.CheckGrammar Else ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling End If Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True End Sub "Ikeyre" wrote: Yes I'm referring to the text form fields.
