Hi zeroth,

The "check spelling as you type" function is not available when using formfields. Indeed, no spell checking of formfields is possible without programming intervention.

If you have portions where large amounts of text are permitted, consider putting Section breaks each side of those portions, then leaving them unprotected when you apply the forms protection. That will give access to the normal spell-check functions, including "check spelling as you type".
