Ok I tried this and I get an Compile Error that reads:
Sub or function not defined. And it highlights on the Bookmark().name =
SCY_BM1 line. Also the
If left (FF.Name , 3) = "SCY"
then
is red, what am I doing wrong? Below is the code as it reads currently.
Thanks for all your help I have been struggling with this for days now.

Dim MyDoc As Document
Dim Rng As Range
Dim FF As FormField

Set MyDoc = ActiveDocument

'Unprotect the file
If MyDoc.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
bProtected = True
MyDoc.Unprotect Password:="colleen"
End If

For Each FF In aDoc.FormFields

Set Rng = FF.Range

With Rng
.CheckSpelling , True
End With
Next

'Reprotect the document.
If bProtected = True Then
ActiveDocument.Protect _
Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, Password:="colleen"
End If

'--------------
'You could specifiy the formfields.
Set Rng = MyDoc.FormFields(1).Range 'Formfield Number 1
With Rng
.CheckSpelling , True
End With



Bookmark(Matter).Name = SCY_BM1 'Spell Check Yes Bookmark #1
Bookmark(Respondent).Name = SCY_BM3 'Spell Check Yes Bookmark #1
Bookmark(Summary).Name = SCY_BM9 'Spell Check Yes Bookmark #1


For Each FF In aDoc.FormFields

If left(FF.Name), 3) = "SCY"
then
Set Rng = FF.Range


With Rng
.CheckSpelling , True
End With

Next
