Can spellcheck be enabled in a form that users complete in Word?
Managers like a form I created for HR but they want it to check for spelling
errors when individual employees complete them. Spellcheck works when the protection is removed. I cannot enable spellcheck when the form is protected. Is spellcheck not a working feature for text form fields? |

Thanks so much for your help. I was hoping it would be an easier fix, though.

Hey There, I have a document that can be added to the forms. We also were
having the problem with locked words not being spell checked, and that thing the other poster gave was pretty confusing, if you would like the macro I have, just let me know! because I don't think I can insert it here.

The macro works. It works on many, many, systems using different versions of
Word in different configurations. It is the result of hundreds of hours of work and testing (not by me, though). I have used it in one version or another for more than five years. That said, you do need to know how to insert it in your template and use it. Some of the graphic lines in it on the web page (between the subroutines) are for help reading it but should be removed or commented out when using it. -- 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!
