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
 
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

Works fine - thank you very much!

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