Add word in cell changes to word TRUE
 
Hello,

I know that the words TRUE and FALSE are used for formating data but I am
trying to do a spelling list with the word true and after typing the word in
the cell, it automatically centers and capitalizes.

I've checked the format option.

Any ideas?

Thanks

try 'TRUE with a ' in front of the TRUE. That'll make it text instead
of the excel value TRUE. The ' won't show up in the list, so it will
still look like the word TRUE for your spelling list.

Joey, format the cell as text first and then put in the words or put a ' in
front of the words, the ' will not show

Got it! Changed the format to Text rather than General!
