You can use this macro to unprotect, run the spellcheck, then re-protect the
sheet.


Sub Spell_Check()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="justme"
Cells.CheckSpelling SpellLang:=1033
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="justme", DrawingObjects:=True, _
Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
End Sub

It doesn't appear that it is possible through Excel's "normal" options.
A customer has created a protected Excel form with certain cells unlocked
for data. If the person misspells data in these cells, the spelling checker
is not available.
Any way around this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks.
