Microsoft® Office Excel® 2007 Plain & Simple

Checking the Spelling of Your Worksheet

After you create a workbook and fill it with data, labels, and explanatory text, you should always use the Excel spelling checker to check your text for misspellings. If Excel finds a word it doesn’t recognize, the spelling checker will ask you whether it’s correct and, if not, might suggest alternatives.

You can have Excel ignore a word once or for the entire document, choose one of the program’s suggestions, or even add new words to the dictionary. Products are often given unique names, so adding them to the dictionary Excel uses to check all documents will save you a lot of time.
