Excel 2016 Introduction

Excel 2016

Lesson – Using Basic Workbook Skills

The Dictionary language list box allows you to select the language for the dictionary you want to use.

A word identified as misspelled appears in the Spelling dialog box, with possible correct spellings listed in the Suggestions list box. There are several options when a word is identified as incorrect. You can select the correct spelling of the word in the Suggestions list box and use the Change or Change All button to change just the current occurrence or all occurrences of the misspelled word. However, if the list of possible alternative spellings in the Suggestions list box does not contain the correct spelling, you can type the correct spelling directly into the Spelling dialog box. If the word is correct, you can use the Ignore Once or Ignore All button to disregard just the current occurrence or all occurrences of the word. Another alternative for a correctly spelled word (such as a company name or technical term) is to use the Add to Dictionary button to add the word to the custom dictionary on the current computer.

If you make a mistake during a spell check, you can use the Undo Last button in the Spelling dialog box to reverse the previous change.

You can check the spelling of the entire worksheet or of a range of selected cells.
