Default Spell check is disabled

I have a Word document that is protected. It allows the user to type in free
form paragraphs however it does not allow for spell checking those
paragraphs. Does anyone know why and how this could be fixed?

Why? Because this and a number of other functions are completely disabled in
a document that has any protection, regardless of whether the particular
section is unprotected. That's the way the program was designed, but I don't
know the technical details of the reasons.

Fix: See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...ProtectDoc.htm.
