I have company templates designed for uniformity. Is there any way that
spell check can be activated so that information typed by the users can be
computer corrected?

If spell check is turned on on the user's machines, it should be functioning
already? How is it not working? Which version of Word is involved?

You might want to read up on how to control language formatting in the Tips
section of my website. What spell check does, and where it does it, is
controlled by the language formatting in a document.

Bunnie,
There is a macro that you can create to utilize the spell check in a
protected document. I will include the macro and the steps to set up the
macro.

Macro - Spell Check
' If document is protected, Unprotect it.
If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:=""
End If

' Set the language for the document.
Selection.WholeStory
Selection.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS
Selection.NoProofing = False

' Perform Spelling/Grammar check.
If Options.CheckGrammarWithSpelling = True Then
ActiveDocument.CheckGrammar
Else
ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling
End If

' ReProtect the document.
If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType = wdNoProtection Then
ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, _
NoReset:=True
End If



Steps to Set Macro in Templates:

1. Unprotect the template.
2. Click Tools.
3. Choose Macro.
4. Choose Macros.
5. Create a new macro with the name “SpellCheckâ€.
6. Click Create.
7. Delete all the Green items in the macro.
8. Copy the macro code from S:\data\becky\projects or WO\wo 4879\Spellcheck
Macro.doc. – Or go to the website – support.microsoft.com and go to article
191028 method 3.
9. Copy the code and put it in the macro between the beginning and ending
marks.
10. Save your macro TWICE.
11. Go back to Word using the Word icon in the Macro box.

**If the macro is already created on your PC then you can start HERE!!
12. Go to Tools, Customize, Macros.
13. Drag the Macro Icon under the Tools menu and under Spelling & Grammar.
14. Click OK
15. Click Tools, Templates & Add-ins, Organizer, and Macro Project Items.
16. Copy the New Macro.
17. Click Close.
18. Protect the Document.
19. Save the document.
20. Close the document.

I hope this Helps
