Spell check in locked form
Charles, I pasted the code from the web page into a macro but it doesn't
seem to do anything when it runs even though I have intentionally mispelled words? What am I doing wrong? Brian "Charles Kenyon" wrote in message ...

Spell check in locked form
The macro is _not_ supposed to check protected text. It is supposed to check
text in form fields and in unprotected sections. The idea is that you want the form to remain unchanged, even if it has a misspelling. If your text is in an unprotected section, is it marked to not be checked? Select the text in question and look under Tools = Language... and see if it is set to not check spelling or grammar (or for "no proofing"). -- 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://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Spell check in locked form
Thanks Charles that was it. The fields were set to "Not Check Spelling". Is
that a default? It appears that all the fields in all my forms are set to "Not Check Spelling". Is there an easy way to change them all or do I need to go into each field on each form?

It shouldn't matter what the fields are set to. AFAIK the macro ignores that
setting for the fields. However, it does pay attention to that setting for text in an unprotected section. By fields, I assume you mean text formfields inserted using the Forms toolbar. For forms to work properly, the document must be protected for forms. -- 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://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Thanks again Charles. You are right. It was not the Language setting that
was the problem. I had a problem with the macro. It is working fine now. Thanks for all the help. Brian "Charles Kenyon" wrote in message ... It shouldn't matter what the fields are set to.
