    Spell Check on Protected Document

    I have a spreadsheet that I created in Excel 2007. I have certain cells protected. Only problem, when I protect the specific cells, the user cannot spell check. Is there any way around this?
    Your help is greatly appreciated

    Hi Karen,

    Please check the attached file; the file is protected. The macro is assigned to rectangular box; as you click on it the SpellChecker option will be activated.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Karen,

    Excel does not spell check in protected sheet / workbook / formula. A Small macro code can help you to get your answer.

    Thanks,
    Anil

    Thank you both for your help!

    That's a great idea to add the macro. I noticed that the company I work for has the macros disabled by default.
    I'll experiment and try to get it to work.
    Thanks again!
