Why Spell Check Matters in Excel |
|
Before sharing a workbook, it’s important to ensure that there are no spelling errors. Thankfully, Excel includes a spell check tool that can help you quickly identify and correct spelling mistakes in your workbook.
While the spell check feature in Excel is useful, it’s not as comprehensive as the one in Microsoft Word. For instance, Excel doesn’t check for grammar issues or provide real-time spelling suggestions as you type.
Access the Spell Check Tool
Go to the Review tab and click the Spelling command. This will open the Spelling dialog box..
If Excel doesn’t offer a suitable suggestion, you can manually type the correct spelling.
Ignore Once: Skip the current word without making any changes.
Ignore All: Skip the current word and any future occurrences of it in your workbook.
Add: Add the word to the dictionary so that it won’t be flagged as an error in the future. Be sure the word is spelled correctly before using this option.
