Actually, the option to allow some sections of a do***ent to remain
unlocked (and editable) does exist in Word 2008, just not in a place you
would expect to find it. I posted my solution here:
<http://daisyolsen.com/protecting-selected-sections-of-a-do***ent-in-microsoft-word-2008/>
I'd love to see the auto spell check come back but at least the manual
spell check still works so there is a work around. I don't expect the
protected areas or the contents of form fields to be included in a spell
check, just the text in the unprotected areas of the do***ent.
