I am designing a file that includes multiple forms for people to fill out. Each tab is a seperate form that is protected to allow the user to tab between necessary, unlocked fields. Is there a way you can apply spell check to an unlocked, protected field? Or by protecting the sheet does it not allow you to use the spell checker? Secondly, there are pulldown lists I have created under "Validation". Is there a way to make those lists AutoComplete when a letter or series of letters is typed in the cell?

Thanks for any help!
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.

Tyler,

For the second questions, go to Tools/Auto Correct and compile your list
