Hi Jay, tried that and nothing good happened. The first part, couple of
lines, of the macro now looks like this except with a solid line after the
third line below across the page:

Option Explicit

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

Sub RunSpellcheck()

Dim oSection As Section, OriginalRange As Range

When I enter the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+F12) it now takes me to opening a
Word document. and, the name I had assigned to the Macro is gone/missing from
the Macros. thanks, tom.

Hi Tom,

You only missed one thing. In step 1 of the article, it says "paste the
following code in, first deleting anything in the code module that Microsoft
inserted automatically". You didn't delete the lines that were there before
you pasted, and now they're causing the problem.

Delete this line at the top:

Sub Pulease()


and delete the very last line:

End Sub


(note that there are two lines like this at the end, just delete one and
leave the other).

Later versions of Word work the same way as Word 97 in this respect.

Hi, and after two days of trying I'll certainly appreciate your help
in getting this macro
( http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...ProtectDoc.htm )

to run in Word 97, SR 2, Windows XP, Home Edition. I keep getting
"Compile error: Expected End Sub" and other errors as well. Is there
a newer version of Word that will allow spell checking in protected
documents ?

The following is the Macro that I've created:

Sub Pulease()
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

'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
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
