Spell-checking spreadsheets

You can check the spelling in a spreadsheet when you finish it.

Procedure

If you do not want to correct this word, click Ignore.
    • If the program finds misspellings but no correct word is suggested, the Replace with field shows the message "No suggestions." Click Ignore to proceed.
