Spell check Macro Error in Protected Form

[Silena K-K]

Hi there

I have copied the macro referred to in the discussion group for running the
spell check in a protected form.

The first time I ran the macro in my form it worked fine. Now each time I
try to run the macro I get a Microsoft Visual Basic dialog box that says
"Compile Error: Can't find project or library".

The following line of code is highlighted in yellow...

Private Sub CheckProtectedSection(oSection As Section)

....and the word Left$ under the instruction line 'The following subroutine
won't be called if Word 97 is in use ... is selected

Please help. Thank you Silena

Try this simpler version of the code Add any password in the two places
indicated and set the required proofing language also where indicated.

Sub SpellCheckForm()
Dim i As Integer
Dim bProtected As Boolean
'Unprotect the file
If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
bProtected = True
ActiveDocument.Unprotect Password:=""
End If
'check each formfield for spelling
For i = 1 To ActiveDocument.FormFields.Count
ActiveDocument.FormFields(i).Select
#If VBA6 Then
Selection.NoProofing = False
#End If
'set language as appropriate
Selection.LanguageID = wdEnglishUK
Selection.Range.CheckSpelling
Next
'Reprotect the document.
If bProtected = True Then
ActiveDocument.Protect _
Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, Password:=""
End If
End Sub

Hi Graham

The macro works great in a DOC file however, it comes up with the Compile
Error in a DOT file

Any thoughts?

Regards, Silena

The macro should be stored in the template that creates the form (not the
normal template if you are distributing the template) and is probably best
run from a toolbar button in that template. Which line of code is flagged by
the error when you click 'debug' on the error message - see also
