spell check in protected forms
I have inserted the macro that has been referred to in many of the replies to
this issue, however it does not reprotect after the spellcheck. Below is the code I am inserting, where did I make my mistake? Any help would be appreciated. Also, something I am noticing that could be the problem is that the 3rd line has a line beneath it, effectively putting it into another macro. When I cut and paste it into the spell check macro, the line goes right back underneath it. 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 oDoc.Unprotect Password:="adatc" '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_ Password = "adatc" 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 Cancelled = False CorrectedError = vbNullString Set MyRange = Nothing End Sub Private Sub CheckProtectedSection(oSection As Section) Dim FmFld As FormField, FmFldCount As Long, Pos As Long 'check only the text formfields, 'don't check listboxes and checkboxes - this speeds up the code Application.ScreenUpdating = False For Each FmFld In oSection.Range.FormFields 'Check to see if the field is a text formfield If FmFld.Type = wdFieldFormTextInput Then 'Check if the field is a 'real' text field (no date, formula etc); 'and that it is enabled for text input If FmFld.TextInput.Type = wdRegularText And FmFld.Enabled Then 'The following subroutine won't be called if Word 97 is in use If Not Left$(Application.Version, 1) = "8" Then Call TurnNoProofingOff(FmFld) End If FmFld.Range.SpellingChecked = False 'Change the language constant in the following line if necessary; 'when you type the = sign, a list of all supported language 'constants will appear, and you can choose one from the list. FmFld.Range.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS 'Or whichever language is appropriate for you 'If the current form field contains errors, spellcheck the text in it If FmFld.Range.SpellingErrors.Count 0 Then 'The following condition is to allow for a Word 97 bug, which 'was fixed in 2000; (and in the latest Word 97 patches). If 'the formfield is in a table and contains more than one 'paragraph, then spellchecking it will crash Word 97 If Left$(Application.Version, 1) = "8" _ And FmFld.Range.Paragraphs.Count 1 _ And FmFld.Range.Tables.Count 0 Then Call Word97TableBugWorkaround(FmFld) If Cancelled Then Exit Sub Else 'Set a range to the formfield's range in case the user 'accidentally destroys the formfield by overtyping its entire 'contents Set MyRange = FmFld.Range FmFldCount = oSection.Range.FormFields.Count Application.ScreenUpdating = True FmFld.Range.CheckSpelling If IsObjectValid(FmFld) Then If FmFld.Range.SpellingErrors.Count 0 Then 'User pressed Cancel button.

Do While Not FmFldCount = _ oSection.Range.FormFields.Count oDoc.Undo Loop 'Also due to a Word bug, if the formfield is preceded by a 'tab, the text within the formfield may now be selected 'without the formfield itself being selected!
