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

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying

Tyler,

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