I am unable to get the spell check macro to function in protected Word files.
Ive downloaded the SpellcheckSample.zip and compared it to a document Ive
set up and everything appears to be identical. However when I protect the
form, even without a password, Spelling and Grammar is ghosted out unlike it
is in the sample form.

The built-in function is still going to be greyed out, even with the macro
installed. You have to replace the built-in command with your own link to
the macro (in your template or document, not in normal.dot) and/or replace
F7 key assignment. See step 3 of
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...ProtectDoc.htm.

Do not retype the macro. Cut and paste!

Ok, I get it now. Thanks.

I've been reading what it has said for a while now and it has finally clicked.
