Hi Bob:
Some of this might come back in the Service Release. There is a bug in
Word
2008 where the whole do***ent goes Read-Only if any of the sections are
protected.
If they get that one solved, then spell-checking should work in any
writable
part of the do***ent.
However, I believe that when the do***ent is protected for Forms, the
spell-checker should be disabled in the protected regions. Could be
wrong...
Cheers
