Spell check protected form

[Ricki Miles]

I am creating a protected form in Word XP. I would like to have a macro to
unprotect the form (no password), spell check the entire text and then
reprotect the form.

I tried using a macro that I used in Word 97 but it is not working properly.
It is an on exit macro attached to the last form field and it unprotects
the form, spell checks the non-variable text, but won't check the variable
text that has been added by the user.

I appreciate your help!

This is great! I put the module into my protected form that was
protected (with no password). It worked very well. As a newbie
programmer I had a bit of difficulty once I set a password but
eventually figured out that the " " marks had to go around the
password. Duh.....

This solution solves such a HUGE problem for me you have no idea.

Thanks for posting the solution.

Nick.

Jay and Ricki....
This worked very well. Is it possible to do the same thing for
grammar check?
