Word Document with it locked

[jheuton]

I am using a word document and have it locked (using a form), however, when doing that it takes off the spell check. Does anyone know a way around this? If so I would appreciate any feedback on how it works.

Thanks - Josh

Hi Josh,

That's the way Word works, by design.

If you need to run the spell-check, it can be done with vba. The vba code would need to unprotect the document, spell-check the user-editable areas (ie formfields & normally-unprotected Sections), then re-protect the document, preserving the formfield contents.

Cheers
