Hi All,

I want to develop a spellchecker in excel.I want that excel
spellchecker should work similar to the word auto-spell checking. i.e
all spell mistakes start appearing in red.

How can i implement the same ? Any pointers ?.

On the worksheets_upon update or whatever it's called, go through
every non-blank cell, look for letters, break down text strings into
"words", compare them to an established database of words, if the word
isn't a word, then highlight the text.

Should be doable... I wonder if you can't access the F7 spellcheck
from VBA, though ... hmmm ... if you could, you can skip to just
highlighting!

How can i highlight a word in cell in excel. I could not find any
thing for highlighting the word.
