I have found the following article very useful in developing a work-around
for the fact that Word 2003 disables it's spellchecker in a protected form.
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/SpellcheckProtectDoc.htm

However, I can't get it to run unless macro security is set to low. We do
not want to tell our users to do this. I'm sure there is a way to get this
to work with high macro security, but I need a suggestion or two to get me
started.

Thanks!

Put the template for the form in the Workgroup templates folder. Set your
macro security to trust installed templates and Add-Ins.
