Not really if the area you want to enable formatting contains Word Form
Fields. You might look into the "Read Only" protection type and instead of
form fields mark those areas you want to enable editing as "Exceptions".
This may or may not work for you depending on how you are currently using
the form fields.

Hi

I have a form which is protected for user fill in and has the spell check
macro (thanks for this) embedded.

Is it possible to enable the formatting of text within the user completed
fields without compromising the integrity of the document by unprotecting
it
- I have numerous users who are not sufficiently adept to allow self
un/protection?

Your advice and help much appreciated.
