Check Spelling Automatically in Excel 2007

[Markrs]

Is there a way to have Excel 2007 check spelling as you type? I found the
option in the proofing group in the ribbon, but it only checks spelling if
you specifically tell it to. I've gone into Proofing in Excel Options under
the Office Button but there is no selection to spell check as you type like
in Word.

I've seen a number of messages in the forum about using code to do certain
functions. If coding is the only option, I'm out of the game. I'm not that
kind of user. Any options?

Thanks,

Excel while you are typing is in 'Edit Mode' and very little can be done
with it, hence it doesn't work like Word for example. I think any kind of
coded resolution would either not take you forward or be annoying

1) You could have code under a button to spellcheck, but why then not use
the built-in
2) You could have a worksheet_change event, but that would trigger a spell
check after you exit every cell (unless you program some out) and could
become annoying

Back to you if you want either of the above, post back
