Spell
Check is an Excel editing feature that you can use to check your
worksheets for spelling mistakes. Often you may misspell a word in a way
that is not in the AutoCorrect replace list. When you invoke spell
check, Excel will compare the words in your worksheet against a
dictionary. If a word is not found in the dictionary, you can choose a
likely substitute to replace it, or add it to the dictionary so it will
no longer be a spelling error.
You
can check an entire worksheet, a selection, or a single cell with spell
check.
|
To spell check a
worksheet, click cell A1 to get to the beginning of the sheet
and left click the Spell Check button on the standard
toolbar.
You can also use
the Tools -> Spelling
option from the menu bar, or the F7
keyboard shortcut.

If you want to
spell check a selection of cells, just select a range by
dragging the thick cross over the cells you want, and then click
the Spell Check button.
You can also click
on a single cell, and click the Spell Check button to
check that cell.
If the spell
checker finds a word that is not in the dictionary, it will
display the Spelling dialogue box.
You can choose to
ignore what has been found, replace it from a list of other
words, or add it to the dictionary so it will not be interpreted
as a mistake. If you display the dictionary language list, you
will find several dictionaries that you can choose from. The
dictionary you choose will be the one that the spell checker
compares words against. You can click the Auto Correct button to
enter the mistake and replacement word into the AutoCorrect
list.
