Allow spell check for protected cells in a protected worksheet in Excel? I
wan to be able to spell check on protected cells that have a password
protection on the sheet(s).

Thanks,
Hans

Hans, here is a way, unprotect the sheet checks the spelling and then
protects the sheet

Sub Spell_Check()

'spell check a protected sheet

ActiveSheet.Unprotect password:="123"

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

, AlwaysSuggest:=True

ActiveSheet.Protect password:="123"

End Sub
