Default add spellcheck in a locked form

Hi,

Try this - it seems to work for me in Word 2003.

You need to create a new macro that unprotects the sheet to allow for
spellcheck only:

Sub Spell_Check()
Unprotect Password:="yourpassword"
CheckSpelling SpellLang:=1033
Protect Password:="yourpassword"
End Sub

Hope it helps.
Billie.

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...ProtectDoc.htm. Yes,
it should be easier than that, but it isn't.
