Default spell check in protected forms

I have inserted the macro that has been referred to in many of the replies to
this issue, however it does not reprotect after the spellcheck. Below is the
code I am inserting, where did I make my mistake? Any help would be
appreciated. Also, something I am noticing that could be the problem is that
the 3rd line has a line beneath it, effectively putting it into another
macro. When I cut and paste it into the spell check macro, the line goes
right back underneath it.

Option Explicit

Dim Cancelled As Boolean, MyRange As Range, _
CorrectedError As String, oDoc As Document



Sub RunSpellcheck()

Dim oSection As Section, OriginalRange As Range

'If no documents open, quit macro
If Documents.Count = 0 Then
Exit Sub
End If

Set oDoc = ActiveDocument
oDoc.Unprotect Password:="adatc"

'Check what type of protection - if any - has been applied
Select Case oDoc.ProtectionType

'If not protected, or if protected for tracked changes,
'run spellchecker and quit

Case wdNoProtection, wdAllowOnlyRevisions
If Options.CheckGrammarWithSpelling Then
oDoc.CheckGrammar
Else
oDoc.CheckSpelling
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.ScreenRefresh
If oDoc.SpellingErrors.Count = 0 Then
If Options.CheckGrammarWithSpelling Then
MsgBox "The spelling and grammar check is complete", _
vbInformation
Else
MsgBox "The spelling check is complete", vbInformation
End If
End If
System.Cursor = wdCursorNormal
Exit Sub

Case wdAllowOnlyComments
'Don't want to run spellchecker if protected for comments
Exit Sub
End Select

Set OriginalRange = Selection.Range
System.Cursor = wdCursorWait


'If we've got this far, it's protected for forms
'Now unprotect the document
oDoc.Unprotect
oDoc.SpellingChecked = False

'Check each section for its protection property -
'which you can get even after unprotecting the document.
'If the section was protected, call a subroutine to spellcheck the formfields.
'if it wasn't, spellcheck the section
StatusBar = "Spellchecking document ..."
For Each oSection In oDoc.Sections
If oSection.ProtectedForForms Then
Call CheckProtectedSection(oSection)
If Cancelled Then
'Boolean variable returned by CheckProtectedSection
'procedure if user pressed Cancel button
Exit For
End If
Else
If oSection.Range.SpellingErrors.Count 0 Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
oSection.Range.CheckSpelling
If oSection.Range.SpellingErrors.Count 0 Then
'User pressed Cancel button
'(Pressing Ignore reduces the count, pressing Cancel doesn't)
Exit For
End If
End If
End If
Next oSection

'Re-protect the document

oDoc.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True_
Password = "adatc"
OriginalRange.Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.ScreenRefresh
If oDoc.Range.SpellingErrors.Count = 0 Then
If Options.CheckGrammarWithSpelling Then
MsgBox "The spelling and grammar check is complete", _
vbInformation
Else
MsgBox "The spelling check is complete", vbInformation
End If
End If

'Release variables from memory
System.Cursor = wdCursorNormal
Cancelled = False
CorrectedError = vbNullString
Set MyRange = Nothing

End Sub




Private Sub CheckProtectedSection(oSection As Section)

Dim FmFld As FormField, FmFldCount As Long, Pos As Long

'check only the text formfields,
'don't check listboxes and checkboxes - this speeds up the code
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each FmFld In oSection.Range.FormFields
'Check to see if the field is a text formfield
If FmFld.Type = wdFieldFormTextInput Then
'Check if the field is a 'real' text field (no date, formula etc);
'and that it is enabled for text input
If FmFld.TextInput.Type = wdRegularText And FmFld.Enabled Then
'The following subroutine won't be called if Word 97 is in use
If Not Left$(Application.Version, 1) = "8" Then

End If

'when you type the = sign, a list of all supported language
'constants will appear, and you can choose one from the list.

'Or whichever language is appropriate for you

'If the current form field contains errors, spellcheck the text
in it
If FmFld.Range.SpellingErrors.Count 0 Then
'The following condition is to allow for a Word 97 bug, which
'was fixed in 2000; (and in the latest Word 97 patches). If
'the formfield is in a table and contains more than one
'paragraph, then spellchecking it will crash Word 97
If Left$(Application.Version, 1) = "8" _

Else
'If formfield was destroyed because user overtyped its
'entire contents
CorrectedError = MyRange.Text
If Len(CorrectedError) = 0 Then
CorrectedError = MyRange.Words(1).Text
End If

'Formfields should really NEVER be preceded by a tab;
'design your forms so that each formfield is in its
own
'table cell (removing borders as necessary).
However, to
'cater for any legacy forms you may have, the

the
'spelling, reinstate it, and put the user's
correction into its
'result. Note that although Undo reinstates the
Formfield
'itself, if the Formfield is preceded by a tab, It
doesn't
'reinstate the FmFld object, hence the need to do a
count
'(although, as previously stated, in a well-designed
form,
'formfields should never be preceded by a tab, as it's
'better use table cells (removing borders as
necessary).
Do While Not FmFldCount = _
oSection.Range.FormFields.Count
oDoc.Undo
Loop

'Also due to a Word bug, if the formfield is
preceded by a
'tab, the text within the formfield may now be
selected
'without the formfield itself being selected!
'Hence the following convoluted workaround
If Selection.FormFields.Count = 0 Then
Selection.MoveRight unit:=wdCharacter
Selection.MoveLeft unit:=wdCharacter, Extend:=True

Private Sub TurnNoProofingOff(FmFld As FormField)
'This subroutine is called only in Word 2000 and above
FmFld.Range.NoProofing = False

End Sub
