If it is a legacy form field it will not say content control and will not work if the document is not protected for forms. If some content controls do not spell check text then check the proofing setting of the style used to format that control.

How do you check the proofing setting of the style used to format the content control Graham? I select the Home tab and then chose the normal style for the content control, which I assumed would of allowed spell checking.

By default the Normal style does include spell checking. Spell checking does not occur until you complete the word, either by adding e.g. a space, or clicking the next control.

Right click the status bar and add Language. You can then check the language and the proofing for any selected text.

I couldn't get it working with your code but I got it working with this code,


Code:
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
    ActiveDocument.Unprotect
    ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling
    ActiveDocument.CheckGrammar
        ActiveDocument.Protect _
            Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, _
            NoReset:=True, _
            Password:=""
    
End Sub

The only problem is that if you press cancel on the spell checker I get an error message saying "The ToolsProtectDocument is currently disabled".

I know that with content controls, the spelling is underlined if there is an error but I still want the spell check to run.

Press F7 to run a spell check. There is no need for a macro, nor to unprotect the form..

I press F7 and nothing happens. I unprotect the document and F7 runs the spell checker but when it is protected, it won't run.

Actually, I think when I tried it the other day, it was unprotected. Now I have protected the form and F7 won't do anything.

Actually, got it working, just needed to have a data entry field selected to protect it. Thanks for your help Graham.
