Can you post your code?

Assuming ".doc" means an Excel.xls workbook since you're posting an an Excel
group..................

You cannot Spellcheck on a protected sheet.

You must unprotect, spellcheck then reprotect.

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

We keep getting an error msg 400 for a spell check macro in protected doc.
What is this error message and what do we do to correct it?

Thanks,
