formfields

Using a template with locked formfields. Some issues:
1. Autocorrect deletes a wrong spelling but does not replace the word with
the correct spelling.
2. Spell check doesn't seem to function.

I am not that experienced with formfields but need to use them. User is to
save via a custom toolbar macro that copies the content of the fields to
rows in a database. My users are poor typers and use custom autotext
extensively which is working well. They are somewhat confused by the
disappearing "corrected" words caused by the autocorrect function.
Appreciate any input and any education on formfields. Thanks.

This was a problem with Word 97. I am not sure for 2000, but it has been
fixed in Word XP.
2. Spell check doesn't seem to function.
