Only by using VBA macro code.
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
If not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for more on
"getting started".

In the meantime..........
First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.
To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.
Hit CRTL + R to open Project Explorer.
Find your workbook/project and select it.
Right-click and InsertModule. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.
Run the macro by going to ToolMacroMacros.
You can also assign this macro to a button or a shortcut key combo.
