Text Box Spell Check
Hi ?B?U3RlZmFu?=,
I have a word doc with text boxes created from the form toolbar. I am trying to be able to spell check the document. I unlock the document and then run the spell check however only some of the text boxes actually get checked. Can anybody help me with spell checking word text boxes. Which version of Word? What is the difference between the text boxes that do get checked and those that do not? (Did you insert some from a different toolbar, for example?) When you say "spell check the document" do you mean by pressing F7, or do you use something else? Is the document protected as a form when you do the spell check?

Text Box Spell Check
I am using the regular spell check f7 or the abc box from the toolbar.
I actually tried to delete and recreate the boxes that were not being spell checked. I am creating the text boxes from the form toolbar. In general what would be the proper protocol for spell checking these types of documents? Are there any special macros?

Text Box Spell Check
There is a macro at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...ProtectDoc.htm that does essentially what you're trying to do manually. If the manual check skips some boxes, then it's almost certain that the macro will do the same. The most common reason for text to be skipped is that it's formatted as "Do not check spelling or grammar". To look for this, put the cursor in some text that isn't being checked, go to Tools Language Set Language, and look at the check box below the language list. If that box is checked, select all the text in the document (Ctrl+A), return to that dialog, and uncheck it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
