Default Spell check flagging words I can't find in Excel

Yes, I am looking for them as displayed in the spell-checker

I know this is possibly a dumb question but, are you searching for the mis
spelled version as spellchecker found it?

I am having a problem with a particular .xls file in the 2007 version of
Excel. When you spell-check this particular document, it finds "mystery
words" - they show up in spell-check but when you attempt to find them using
the "find" feature, you are told that Excel can't find that word. When you
spell check the same document in the old version of Excel (2003), these words
do not show up in the spell checker. Spell check finds these words even when
the cells are deleted or cleared. I've tried "finding" the words in formulas,
values, and comments to no avail. Any suggestions? This is really frustrating
the few people in the office that have the newer version of Excel since we
use this spreadsheet on a daily basis.
