Spell-checking text entered in MS Word forms?

[DonaLuisa]

Thanks for the tip. In the past, I've had difficulty with template macros working across the various platforms used by our organization. But I'm willing to try. I tried it today: I couldn't get it to work.

I created the macro by pasting in the code at the link you provided, In my .doc test, I received a popup with the message, "Compile error: Sub or Function not defined" and the VB editor displayed the following as highlighted: "Call CheckProtectedSection".

I only have 8 form fields in one table, one field is a dropdown, all in one section. In the template, I protected via the forms toolbar. 

I will probably not use the form feature, and try to figure out how to use checkboxes in place of the dropdown selection. But I am curious why the macro doesn't work. Any idears?
