    Re: Spell check

    Tonks, use a macro to unprotect the sheet, spell check, and then protect the
    sheet, like this, assign to a button on the sheet

    Sub Spell_Check()
    'spell check a protected sheet
    Const Password = "123" '**Change password here**
    ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:=Password
    Cells.CheckSpelling CustomDictionary:="CUSTOM.DIC",
    IgnoreUppercase:=False _
    , AlwaysSuggest:=True
    ActiveSheet.Protect Password:=Password
    End Sub

    Re: Spell check

    word wrap may be a problem with the other one


    Sub Spell_Check()
    'spell check a protected sheet
    Const Password = "123" '**Change password here**
    ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:=Password
    Cells.CheckSpelling CustomDictionary:= _
    "CUSTOM.DIC", IgnoreUppercase:=False _
    , AlwaysSuggest:=True
    ActiveSheet.Protect Password:=Password
    End Sub
