Remove the "ActiveSheet.Protect" line above "End Sub"

Replace with this construction

With ActiveSheet
.Protect AllowFormattingCells:=True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, _
AllowFormattingRows:=True
.EnableSelection = xlNoRestrictions
End With

I discovered a problem with the code. When it protects the sheet at the end,
it doesn't keep all of the protection settings it had originally. The
original settings allow users to (1) select locked cells, (2) select unlocked
cells, (3) format cells, (4) format columns, (5) format rows. After the
spell check, the only options set are (1) and (2).

Can I specify the settings in the ActiveSheet.Protect command?

Thanks!

Next rng

ActiveSheet.Protect

Sorry, I was rushed -- I misspelled Excel and didn't post an actual question.
Is there a way to specify "only unlocked cells" in the following spell check
code?

ActiveSheet.Unprotect

Cells.CheckSpelling _
CustomDictionary:="CUSTOM.DIC", _
IgnoreUppercase:=False, _
AlwaysSuggest:=True

ActiveSheet.Protect
