Getting Started Checking Spelling in Excel: A Step-by-Step Guide
To initiate a spelling check in your Excel worksheet, navigate to the 'Review' tab and click on 'Spelling', or simply press the F7 key.
If a single cell is selected, Excel will meticulously review the entire worksheet, encompassing comments, headers, footers, and any embedded graphics. If multiple cells are selected, the spell check will be confined to those specific cells.
Note: Excel doesn't automatically check spelling in cells containing formulas, but you can spell-check text within the formula bar by selecting the words directly.
Beyond Spell Check Leveraging AutoCorrect and AutoComplete
Enhance your typing precision with Excel's AutoComplete and AutoCorrect features. AutoComplete, enabled by default, assists in maintaining accuracy by matching entries from other cells as you type and is particularly useful when constructing formulas. AutoCorrect is a powerful tool that fixes errors in text within formulas, worksheet controls, text boxes, and chart labels.
To customize AutoCorrect settings, go to 'File' > 'Options' > 'Proofing', then click 'AutoCorrect Options' to adjust the most likely typing errors. Remember, AutoCorrect doesn't apply to text within a dialog box.
