I'm merging together two documents using the Ctrl F9 "IF"
function. Spellcheck is disabled by this function. The
only way to get it back is by cutting the wording out then
using paste special (unformatted text). However this then
removes all formatting. Is there any way I can get
spellcheck to work with merge codes?

It's really round about...

Select the entire IF field combination and press Ctrl+F9 to
insert it in a set of field brackets. Type QUOTE at the front
of this new field, put "quotation marks" around the IF field.
And then just before the closing brackets type: \* CharFormat
