Standard Microsoft Office spelling check is possible in Excel
Unfortunately, it is impossible to check spelling in
Excel like we do this in
Word, with underlining the misspelled words with red (if you know the way, please inform us!).
Excel was designed mostly for numbers initially, and hence, spelling is not its strong point.
Nevertheless, a spelling check is possible, of course, but with a help of the
Spelling dialog box. It is the standard way in all
Microsoft Office programs.
To run the spelling check in
Excel, click
Review tab >
Spelling, or just press
F7. The ordinary
Spelling dialog box opens, with standard options:
Skip,
Skip All,
Add to Dictionary,
Change,
Change All,
Cancel.
🔻If you want to check the content of a particular cell, select the cell and put the text cursor inside it by double-clicking it, then run the spelling check.
🔻If you want to check the content of several cells, select them with the
SHIFT key, then run the spelling check.
🔻If you want to check the content of the entire spreadsheet, select a cell on it WITHOUT double-clicking it and putting the text cursor inside, then run the spelling check. Please note that all comments, page headers, footers, and graphics are checked as well.
🔺Note: Excel doesn’t check spelling in cells that contain formulas.
