Hi Fluff,
thanks for the link that seams to be for active x textboxes, not what i need.

thanks

Missed the part about it being a shape.
This makes it easier, you just need to run the spell checker from the Review tab

Hi Fluff,
but i only want to run the spell check on the text box not the entire document?

Not sure that's possible, other than selecting the text in the textbox & running the spell check.
