Word (Microsoft Office 2003) does not automatically check for
grammar/spelling in a form I created and saved as template. So I have to
manually double-check whenever I use this template and fillin the fields.
How do I get it to automate spell/grammar check in the fillin fields??

Thanks

The result of most fields is a language formatting with the option "Do not
check spelling or grammar" activated. You can select the result and
deactivate the option, but whenever the field is updated it will revert.

Are you using Fillin fields, or FORM fields? I get the impression it's the
latter, but you use the term "fillin"...

I created a form using form fields, but I cannot see how to unselect the
option of "Do not check spelling or grammar"--where do I find this?
Thanks

It's located in Tools/Language/set language. But that's irrelevant for this
problem because everytime the field updates the setting will be lost. In
addition, spell check doesn't work in form fields. Period.

There's a macro on the word.mvps.org site that can implement a "full" spell check
(with dialog box) for a protected form. You might want to look at that.
