Spellchecking Locked Bookmarked FormFields Results in LOSS of Book
I have a document with several form fields that in turn are assigned
bookmarks (e.g., PatientName), to allow automatic filling of the referenced fields. This works when the form is protected. However, when I attempted to use the following spell checking macro to check the contents of the form fields themselves (adapted from the macro written by contributed by Dave Rado, Bill Coan, and Astrid Zeelenberg on the MVP website, http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/...ProtectDoc.htm) with the form protected, I end up LOSING THE BOOKMARK: Sub RunSpellcheck() Dim Cancelled As Boolean, MyRange As Range, _ CorrectedError As String, oDoc As Document Dim oSection As Section, OriginalRange As Range If Documents.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub End If Set oDoc = ActiveDocument Select Case oDoc.ProtectionType 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 Exit Sub End Select Set OriginalRange = Selection.Range System.Cursor = wdCursorWait oDoc.Unprotect oDoc.SpellingChecked = False StatusBar = "Spellchecking document..."

destroyed after protecting the document, and (2) the reference field referring back to the bookmark no longer works.

Spellchecking Locked Bookmarked FormFields Results in LOSS of
I wish I could share with you one custom document I had created with numerous
form fields, referenced (REF) fields, and bookmarks. So, I will attempt to describe how my form works, short of sending one as an attachment. The document is a actually a template for a physical examination form utilized by the Department of Transportation, containing fields for the individuals name (bookmarked €śPatientName€ť), address (bookmarked €śAddress€ť), State (bookmarked €śState€ť), examiners name (bookmarked €śExaminer€ť), etc. The exam findings, as well as the individuals personal information, are entered into the protected form fields manually. There is a certificate at the end of the exam, with the individuals name, address, state, zip code, examiners name, etc. As these are redundant information, my form automatically will complete it with the information already entered in the earlier form fields. As the relevant form fields have already been bookmarked, the referenced fields on the certificate are automatically updated accordingly. I have tested the form such that it would do this, even when completely protected, so I can reuse the form over and over. Lets say on the form just described, I misspelled €śDetroit€ť in the protected form field. I would then like to run a macro to check for such misspelling. I came close, using the macro provided, but then I ran into my current problem. By the way, I am running Word 2000, running on Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 Professional.

Spellchecking Locked Bookmarked FormFields Results in LOSS of
In my testing, using the macro that is provided on the Word MVP website does
not destroy the bookmarks that are assigned either automatically or manually to the formfields via the formfield properties dialog or by using InsertBookmark. If however the spelling of a work in a referenced formfield is corrected, the cross reference is updated. If you insert the following lines of code oDoc.PrintPreview oDoc.ClosePrintPreview before the line oDoc.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True the cross references will be updated. -- Hope this helps.

(In case you haven't guessed, I didn't trace through your code. If you want someone to do that, I would suggest posting in one of the vba newsgroups rather than this one dealing with document management.) I can tell you that the one on the website has worked fine for me with numerous forms, both as a macro in the form template and as a macro in a global template. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Doing that only created 2 ADDITIONAL problems, namely (1) the bookmark is destroyed after protecting the document, and (2) the reference field referring back to the bookmark no longer works. PERHAPS, I probably need someone to revise the macro (initially posted). -- spassky "Charles Kenyon" wrote: If your bookmarks are set in the formfield properties do you still have the problem? -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

I have a document with several form fields that in turn are assigned bookmarks (e.g., PatientName), to allow automatic filling of the referenced fields. This works when the form is protected. However, when I attempted to use the following spell checking macro to check the contents of the form fields themselves (adapted from the macro written by contributed by Dave Rado, Bill Coan, and Astrid Zeelenberg on the MVP website, http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/...ProtectDoc.htm) with the form protected, I end up LOSING THE BOOKMARK: Sub RunSpellcheck() Dim Cancelled As Boolean, MyRange As Range, _ CorrectedError As String, oDoc As Document Dim oSection As Section, OriginalRange As Range If Documents.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub End If Set oDoc = ActiveDocument Select Case oDoc.ProtectionType 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 Exit Sub End Select Set OriginalRange = Selection.Range System.Cursor = wdCursorWait oDoc.Unprotect oDoc.SpellingChecked = False StatusBar = "Spellchecking document..."
