TextBox - CheckSpelling question
I would like to position a text box 'over' the range "B2:L50".
"B2:L50" would be locked and the textbox disabled when the workbook is opened, only becoming Visible / Enabled when a condition is met. When met, user can type in the textbox, where the text will wrap, and both the Enter and Tab keys will work normally. This I can achieve, using a TextBox from the Controls ToolBar. What I am not permitted to do, is to then use 'CheckSpelling' on the user's data. I've been working with Excel2k, but could use Office 2003 SBE. How can I change my approach, such that 'CheckSpelling' will operate on the textBox, please? Regards. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

TextBox - CheckSpelling question
Many thanks.
Had seen this when checking Google before posting. Assumed this method meant that the in-built prompt (ie alternative suggestions for a mis-spelt word) would not display. Have to say, I did not check that. Regards. "Norman Jones" wrote in message ... Hi Stuart, See this post from Jake Marx: http://tinyurl.com/46bn4 --- Regards, Norman "Stuart" wrote in message ...
