At times I unprotect certain areas of an Excel sheet. However, after I
protect the sheet I am not able to perform spell checks. On many occasions I
create forms/questionnaires, and protect the sheet so as the original format
will not be contaminated. If an area is unprotected within a protected
sheet, I should be able to spell check within the unprotected area.
