That is one that I did run, but it wasn't picking up the misspelled words. I misspelled several words on purpose in order to check the accuracy. I didn't know if it might be because it was written for Word 97 and I'm using Word 2010. Yes, I am using the legacy form fields.

The macro works, for me, in Word 2010. To double check that I was using the original macro, and not something I modified, I took the sample posted on the page linked previously and saved it in .dotm format. It works fine. Try it here.

(Note, this link to my DropBox will only work for a relatively short time. I'm submitting it to the MVP site for inclusion in their sample zip folder. If the first link produces no results, try the original site.)

The misspelled words are in a text form field within a table (I opted not to use a text box). Could that make a difference? I have noticed that it will correct words not in a text form field, but the regular spell check picks those up too. When it is unprotected, the regular spell check does not pick up the mistakes in the form fields either. That's what prompted me to look for a macro. This is my first attempt to use a macro, but I have followed the directions. It may be that I'm not doing everything correctly. I will continue to work on it.

This worked great for what I was trying to do. How did you get the checkmark to automatically appear on the quick access toolbar? I need to do that for when I send the form template out to users, they don't have to try to add a quick launch button themselves.
