Default How to overide spell check blocking in protected sheet

The problem is that when a worksheet is password protected
(which is necessary), you cannot spell check. Can a macro
be created to override this?
Thanks so much for any help on this :)

A macro can unprotect the sheet, run the spell check, protect the sheet.

Turn on the macro recorder and perform the actions manually to get the code.

Remember that the password will be in the generated macro
code. So it could be good to protect the code (Lock object
from viewing), although this password could very easily
be cracked....
