You have to initiate it somehow. Most likely by creating command button. Go to

View-- Toolbars -- Forms

Then click on the command button icon and when it opens up attach the macro
to it. So now when you click it, it will run the macro.

I'm new to macros, could some explain how I can use this macro to allow spell
check when a sheet is protected?

Using a macro is the only work around that I know of.

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

Unprotects the sheet, does the spellcheck then reprotects the sheet.

"justme" can be changed to your password.

I made a spread sheet for work the has some cells protected then a password.
But once I enable the password, the spell check cannot be used.

Any help would be appreciated
