AUTOMATIC SPELL CHECK
Am using Excel 2003 - is it possible for it to automatically spell check as I
type. I know I can check after everything is finished, but would like to see errors as I work. I am not talking about auto correct, which I understand, but just general spell checking. |

Put the following macro in the worksheet code area:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Target.CheckSpelling SpellLang:=1033 End Sub It will check each cell after you have entered material in it.

Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use: 1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window 2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window 3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it. To remove the macro: 1. bring up the VBE windows as above 2. clear the code out 3. close the VBE window To learn more about macros in general, see: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm To learn more about Event Macros (worksheet code), see: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/event.htm -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200765 "RENEE" wrote: Sorry - not that bright in Excel.

Is there anyway to apply this to an entire workbook or does it need to be
entered on each worksheet? "RENEE" wrote: Works fine - thank you very much!
