Spellchecking Bookmarks in Word
I have searched the Microsoft web site over and every piece of literature I
can find and no where am I able to find an explanation why bookmarks are apparently not a part of spellchecking a document. Could someone please provide me with a source for the reason and a workaround if there is one. Thanks. |

Perhaps by "bookmarks" you really mean text form fields? In that case, see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...ProtectDoc.htm for a solution. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Spellchecking Bookmarks in Word
Thank you - but this didn't correct the misspellings in any of the Text Form
Fields (which appear in the bookmark list). Very frustrating. My users have docs riddled with spelling errors because they were not caught on typing and now they are unable to run spell check to find them all.

Spellchecking Bookmarks in Word
I did some further digging into this site and found an entry made by Graham
Mayor back in March of 20008 as shown below. A genius - it worked perfectly! Subject: add spellcheck in a locked form 3/11/2008 11:54 PM PST By: Graham Mayor In: microsoft.public.word.docmanagement If this is a simple form without separate sections in which you simply want to check the field entries, you can simplify the code to the following - adding your password between the quotes at the two locations indicated. The error you are experiencing suggests you have not added the CheckProtectedSection routine listed on the quoted page. See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm If you want to spell check a form, then the user of the form must have access to the macro, which can be saved in the form template the user's normal.dot template, or the document itself, but if saved in the document there are macro security implications which could render it unavailable to many users. You can either run it from a toolbar button or on exit from a field the user will tab out of. Sub SpellCheckForm() Dim i As Integer Dim bProtected As Boolean 'Unprotect the file If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType wdNoProtection Then bProtected = True ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:="" End If 'check each formfield for spelling For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.FormFields "Jay Freedman" wrote: mjg8869 wrote: I have searched the Microsoft web site over and every piece of literature I can find and no where am I able to find an explanation why bookmarks are apparently not a part of spellchecking a document.
