Word 2003 Can't Spell Check Form Fields

[reinsterling]

I have text fields in a document and want to be able to spell check their contents. The problem is that fields by default have a setting that causes spell check to ignore their contents (Tools>Language>Set Language>Do not check spelling or grammar). This is not an issue of the form being protected, so I do not want a macro that unprotects forms, spell checks, and reprotects. I simply want an easy way to select all the fields in the document and set them all to be spell checked. I could go one by one, selecting each of the fields individually and changing the setting in Language, but that would take too long. Thanks for any help.

Have you tried "Select All" instead of doing it cell by cell?
