Spell Checking an Excel Form
 
We have an Excel form that our users want to be able to spell check, but
cannot since the form is protected. I got a macro from you folks that does a
great job spell checking protected Word forms and thought you might be able
to point me to something similar in Excel.

Thanks.

Spell Checking an Excel Form
 
akkrug, some thing like this,

Sub Spell_Check()

'spell check a protected sheet, change password to yours

ActiveSheet.Unprotect password:="123"

Cells.CheckSpelling CustomDictionary:="CUSTOM.DIC",
IgnoreUppercase:=False _

, AlwaysSuggest:=True

ActiveSheet.Protect password:="123"

End Sub
