How do I spell check the text fields in a protected form?

Microsoft Word 2003:
In a protected form, users have a number of Comment sections to complete.
Spell check is disabled in protected mode. I need spell check to run on the
text fields for the Comment sections.

There is a macro on the following link that basically unprotects the form,
spell-checks the document, and reprotects the form without losing the data.
You will need to open your form, unprotect it, press ALT+F11 to enter the
VBE window, click "Insert", "Module", copy and paste this code in, close the
VBE window, then reprotect and save your form.

Any problems, holler.

Bob,

I followed your instructions but I still can't get the spell check to work.
I just want to check the fields that users have to complete. Does that make
a difference? I pasted in the macro for my template form but I get syntax
error when I try to run the spell check.

Help!
