I have Word 2000 and when I fill out a protected form, then unprotect to spell check or add addition forms, then reprotect, everthing I typed in the form fields is lost. Does anyone know how to fix this. It is my understanding it is in the macro scripting, but I cannot find the right script to do this.

Look at the link Graham provided you. You'll need an additional macro that
lets you reprotect your form without resetting the fields. You can parse
this from the macro on that site. If you need something more comprehensive,
look at <URL: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/TurnFmFlfResetOff.htm>.

Graham, I don't think that is what I need. As soon as I run, it does a spell check. And it won't let me reprotect it....I tried the site Charles gave it it would not open the site....I just need a way to be able to unprotect, make changes, and reprotect and not loose everything in the forms fields....

Bill, that is the same site Graham sent...That is not what I need. It does not have so much to do with spell checking. I cannot unprotect add more forms, should I need more after filling in spaces, then reprotect without losing everything I already filled in...That is what I'm trying to fix.....The site you sent won't even let me reprotect the form..

The essential code is contained in the spell check macro - it is merely here
that the code is used for spell checking which is one of the main reasons to
unlock a form - and the function that you claimed difficulty with :(

The other link http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/TurnFmFlfResetOff.htm is
working fine - try it again.
