Spellcheck Macro Help
I am posting this here as well since this is the "Best Forum to Post":) I am running the following script. It unprotects, runs spell check, and then re-protects. That portion works. It does not however allow for formatting rows once the macro runs. Any ideas why? Sub Spellcheck_Click() ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="**" Cells.CheckSpelling SpellLang:=1033 ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="**" ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _ , AllowFormattingRows:=True End Sub I ran a similar macro that made the row formatting work, but when I tried to add the password to it it would not reprotect with the password. -- Kevin Ward ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kevin Ward's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31417 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=516394 |

Spellcheck Macro Help
Your code worked ok for me in xl2003. But I don't think I'd have two .protect
lines in the Option Explicit Sub Spellcheck_Click() ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="**" Cells.CheckSpelling SpellLang:=1033 ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="**", DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, _ Scenarios:=True, AllowFormattingRows:=True End Sub Actually, when I ran your code, the worksheet ended up protected with no password.
