Spell Check
In both classic and Excel 2007, when a worksheet is protected, the Spell
took is greyed out (unusable) best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "Claudia" wrote in message news  Is it possible to conduct a spell check on unlocked cells in a protected document? -- claudia

Spell Check
Hi,
I just discovered you can create a macro that will temporarily disable the protection and run spell check. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- claudia "Bernard Liengme" wrote: In both classic and Excel 2007, when a worksheet is protected, the Spell took is greyed out (unusable) best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "Claudia" wrote in message news Is it possible to conduct a spell check on unlocked cells in a protected document? -- claudia

Spell Check
Note: tested on 2003 and 2007
Using a macro is the only work around that I know of. Sub Spell_Check() ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="justme" Cells.CheckSpelling SpellLang:=1033 ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="justme", DrawingObjects:=True, _ Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True End Sub Unprotects the sheet, does the spellcheck then reprotects the sheet. "justme" can be changed to your password.
