I have created an employee review form that contains code which enables text
wrap in merged cells. I have protected the sheet but this disables the
spellcheck functionality. I've seen some threads where you can insert code
to allow spellcheck to work but where in the code would this go? At the end
of my exisiting code? At the beginning?

Thanks,

Gary

Sub Spell_Check()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="justme"
Cells.CheckSpelling SpellLang:=1033
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="justme", DrawingObjects:=True, _
Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
End Sub

Where in your code would it go?

Can't see your code so have no idea.

I assume the word wrap code is event code. Right?

You could run it by calling from your current code.

Just insert the line Spell_Check at a point you feel is appropriate.

Place the Spell_Check macro in a general module.

Thanks Gord.

Yes...my code was stolen for the forum for the wrap text with merged cells.
I'll try this. Is "justme" the password?

Yes, "justme" is a password.

You can change it in the code to one of your liking or have no password at all.

If you do change the PW make sure it is in quotes like "newpassword"
If none at all change to

ActiveSheet.Unprotect
ActiveSheet.Protect

That is worksheet event code and I presume you have it in a sheet module.

It fires whenever you enter text into merged cells.

I misspoke in my first post.

You don't want to run spellcheck every time the event code fires so I would just
assign the Spell_Check macro to a button and run it whenever you choose.

You wouldn't because you have used the password in the code at

'do the spellcheck

Apologies for incomplete instructions.

After you lock the project for viewing you must save, close and reopen the
workbook before the "lock" takes place.

No, you don't have to change the name.

Where in your code would it go?

Can't see your code so have no idea.

I assume the word wrap code is event code. Right?

You could run it by calling from your current code.

Just insert the line Spell_Check at a point you feel is appropriate.

Place the Spell_Check macro in a general module.

I have created an employee review form that contains code which enables text
wrap in merged cells. I have protected the sheet but this disables the
spellcheck functionality. I've seen some threads where you can insert code
to allow spellcheck to work but where in the code would this go? At the end
of my exisiting code? At the beginning?

Thanks,
