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.
