"Do not check spelling or grammar" is the default setting for Text Form Fields.

This is what I found that worked:

> Unprotect the document
> Select all (CTRL+A)
> REVIEW tab > SET LANGUAGE in the PROOFING group
> CLEAR the DO NOT CHECK SPELLING OR GRAMMAR checkbox
> OK

Now you should be able to spell check text contained in the Text Form fields.

This is the macro I found years ago and modified to include the above steps.
Note: The last line ("ActiveDocument.Protect Type:...") is from the time
when Text Form Fields were automatically reset when the document was filled
out, unprotected, then protected again. Probably not needed now.

Sub RunSpellcheck()
'
' RunSpellCheck Macro
' This macro selects the Speller's CHECK DOCUMENT to recheck the spelling,
' selects the entire unprotected document, applies English(US), then
' runs Spell Check.
'
Application.ResetIgnoreAll
ActiveDocument.SpellingChecked = False
ActiveDocument.GrammarChecked = False

Selection.WholeStory
Selection.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS
Selection.NoProofing = False
Application.CheckLanguage = True
If Options.CheckGrammarWithSpelling = True Then
ActiveDocument.CheckGrammar
Else
ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling
End If
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True
End Sub
