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.

REMEMBER: the worksheet code area, not a standard module

Sorry - not that bright in Excel. Could you be more detailed. Thanks.

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

Is there anyway to apply this to an entire workbook or does it need to be
entered on each worksheet?
