Using Microsoft Word 2003, SP2. The document is protected for "Filling In
Forms". Though I can automate unprotect, spell check ignores the contents of
text fields. Anyone have a solution? Thank you so much.

Hello,

Thank you for the link to this article - I am having the same problem and I
still cannot get the macro to work for me. I am very new to this, so I may
have done it wrong. Basically, I copied the macro from the template given.
Do you have any suggestions for where I might have gone wrong? When I open a
new doc using the template provided in the link, the macro works perfectly...
just not in my new template.

Thank you!

-Jill

The easiest thing for you to do will be to copy the content of your template
and paste it into the template that you downloaded so that it replaces what
was there.
