Spell Check Macro in Forms

[Stacia S]

I created a form with form fields a few months ago and it is protected. I
got a call from a uset stating they could not spell check the info they
typed. I did some research and found a Spell Check code and I pasted it into
the code for Visual Basic, but I could nver get the Macro to work. I then
decided to just record a basic macro of spell check. I inserted it on my
toolbar and change it from text to a button. I typed on the form and clicked
the button to test it, but it took me to Visual Basic instead of checking the
document. Help! How can I get this to work - I have never used Visual Basic
before, so I'm a bit lost.

I doubt anyone here will spend much time with your macro. They will spend no
time on it if you don't post the code. The one on the page above is
rock-solid and works in Word 97 - Word 2003. It is the product of many many
hours by experienced programmers.
