Spell check in templates
I created a template with fill in fields. The form is locked. Tab between
fields. How do I get spell check to work (2000 version.) It shows up on the tool menu as grayed out. I even tried saving to a doc name but it was still grayed out. If I unlock it is OK but I don't want to have to do that. thanks.

Spell check in templates
You are using form fields, not fill-in fields. There is a difference.
From the spelling.grammar FAQ: 4. How can I spell-check protected forms http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Macros...ProtectDoc.htm What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm.
