spell check in a form template

[PatM-Reno]

when a form is locked and it's a template you are filling
out, the spell check is grayed out...any clue on how a
user can spell check the filled out template?

I've referred numerous people to this:

But numerous people have said they can't get it to work. I try, tho.

thanks, I'll try it but I suspect a field cannot be spell
checked...how's that for all those highly paid
programmers at Microsoft!!!! thanks for the lead...Pat

Sure, a field can be spell-checked. More often than not, the problem lies in
that the user has not set form fields for language. When you're done
creating your form, and before protecting it, hit Ctrl+A, set the language,
uncheck "no proofing", and then protect.
