How do I use the spell check on a protected sheet in Excel?
To put in this macro, from your workbook right-click the workbook's icon and
pick View Code. This icon is to the left of the "File" menu this will open the VBA editor, in Project Explorer click on your workbook name, if you don't see it press CTRL + r to open the Project Explorer, then go to insert, module, and paste the code in the window that opens on the right hand side, press Alt and Q to close this window and go back to your workbook and press alt and F8, this will bring up a box to pick the Macro from, click on the Macro name to run it. If you are using excel 2000 or newer you may have to change the macro security settings to get the macro to run. To change the security settings go to tools, macro, security, security level and set it to medium And if you are new to macros you may also what to have a look here on getting started with macros http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated!

Hi Paul,
Hope you're still around to help, I tried following your instructions and when I got to the stage of pressing clicking run I got an error: Compile Error: Syntax error and the line: Cells.CheckSpelling CustomDictionary:="CUSTOM.DIC", was highlighted. What can I do now!? Thanks "Paul B" wrote: To put in this macro, from your workbook right-click the workbook's icon and pick View Code.

How do I use the spell check on a protected sheet in Excel?
Great that works.
My only question now is... do I have to press alt and F8 to run the spell check, or is there a way of allowing F7 to be pressed as usual? - I just want to make this as straight forward as possible for the users!

Thanks, that works great.
My only question now is....does the user have to click alt + F8 and choose the macro, or can the normal F7 shortcut still be used somehow (it can't as it stands)? (I just want to make it as easy as possible for the multiple users!!) "Gord Dibben" wrote: That line is part of a longer line. Change to this revision.............
