Greetings;
I wish to spell check a text box on one of my sheets. The worksheet
that the text box is found on must be protected. I have the
following code but it doesn't seem to work. It runs through the
macro, but it doesn't detect any spelling errors when there is errors.

Sub spell_check()
'
' spell_check Macro
'
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Text 2").Select
Selection.CheckSpelling
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True,
Scenarios:=True End Sub

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
