thanks for the reply; not sure how to do this, I'm not a programmer.

Requires VBA to unprotect the sheet, do the spellcheck then reprotect the
sheet.

Similar to.......

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

I have a protected worksheet with certain cells I do not want changed. I
also have cells in which people can type text. But I noticed that when a
worksheet is protected, spell check is grayed out. Is there any way to
allow by text cells to be checked for spelling without unprotecting my
worksheet? Or is there a way to protect cells from change without
protecting the whole worksheet?
