Settiing up spellcheck in a protected Excel document
I am creating a form. I have locked certain cells, while others are
unlocked. The unlocked cells will be used to fill out the form. I would like the user to be able to use spellcheck. I have tried to use the 'Allow Users to Edit Ranges' under Protection by including all unlocked cells, but spellcheck is still locked out for the entire document as soon as I put in the password. Is there a way to do this? |

You can use this macro to unprotect, run the spellcheck, then re-protect the sheet. Sub Spell_Check() ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="justme" Cells.CheckSpelling SpellLang:=1033 ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="justme", DrawingObjects:=True, _ Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True End Sub Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Thu, 27 Apr 2006 08:24:01 -0700, teejay wrote: I am creating a form.

Settiing up spellcheck in a protected Excel document

Sorry I didnt reply right away. The macro worked fine after I changed the security. I am surprised that spellcheck is not made available when you protect the sheet.
