Default Enabling Spell Check in Protected Worksheet

The only solution is to use the selection change event and check to see if
the current cell is locked. If not locked then unprotect the sheet. Something
like this.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Me.Protect
If Target.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Locked = False Then Me.Unprotect

End Sub

Note that the spell check can/will operate on the entire sheet so if there
are spelling issues elsewhere in the sheet the user will be able to change
the text of those cells.

Is there any way without using VBA to enable Spell Check in a Protected
