Hi Ray, Just to recap. At the time the code worked, it was stored in the normal.dot template along with the shortcut. For reasons too numerous to go into, I had to delete and recreate the same macro (with identical code and shortcut) all over again. This is where I presently stand. I have the macro stored in Normal.dot; the code also stored in Normal.dot; and the VBA code saved in the same template. For reasons I am not understanding, the shortcut key doesn't appear to work when the document is protected. It did the first time round when the macro was created. I appreciate all your help.

Have you assigned the keyboard shortcut to the template or just moved the code there.

I am calling the macro from a keystroke. In unprotected mode, the macro launches fine (it used to launch properly when the Word form was protected also using the same code) so I don't think it is the VBA code. Any quick ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks very much for your help.

Do you get an error message of any kind? How are you calling the macro?

I have created (or rather modified) a Word 2000 macro for running the spell checker in a protected Word form. (I am also not a VBA expert--just learned a little several days ago for this task. It worked one time, but I can't get it to work agin. I have attached it to the Normal.dot template. For your reference, I have attached the code below. Any help would be appreciated at the earliest. Thanks in advance.
