Checking Spelling | How to become an Expert of MS Excel - Class 6 PDF Download

Introduction

If you've used the spell check feature in Microsoft Word, just be aware that the spell check tool in Excel, while helpful, is not as powerful. For example, it won't check for grammar issues or check spelling as you type.

To use spell check:

• From the Review tab, click the Spelling command.
  
• The Spelling dialog box will appear. For each spelling error in your worksheet, it will try to offer suggestions for the correct spelling. Choose a suggestion, then click Change to correct the error.
  
• A dialog box will appear after reviewing all spelling errors. Click OK to close spell check.
  

If there are no appropriate suggestions, you can also enter the correct spelling manually.

Ignoring spelling "errors"

• Ignore Once: This will skip the word without changing it.
• Ignore All: This will skip the word without changing it and also skip all other instances of the word in your worksheet.
• Add: This adds the word to the dictionary so it will never appear as an error again. Make sure the word is spelled correctly before choosing this option.
