| 137357 | 2003-04-20 23:28:00 | Excel spell checker has suddenly stopped working - have reloaded Excel but still no success. Word still works OK. Are there settings I could have mycked up? | Bruce Drummond (3638) | ||
| 137358 | 2003-04-21 04:01:00 | Have you reinstalled Office? I presume the spell checker is a "shared" component. | Dolby Digital (160) | ||
| 137359 | 2003-04-22 06:26:00 | Thanks for the thought, but yes I have reinstalled Excel | Bruce Drummond (3638) | ||
| 137360 | 2003-04-22 06:41:00 | Can you give is a clue as to what happens? Do you get an error message? Does it just say the check is complete when its not? Its not much to go on, we would like to help.... rubs crystal ball, but still cannot see clearly |

| 137361 | 2003-04-22 22:08:00 | Thanks for your interest. I'm fairly new to Excel. I had been successfully using the 'ABC tick' icon for checking spelling for several sessions when it suddenly stopped working. When I click on the ABC icon it visibly depresses, but that's all. It certainly does not perform any checking. I have completely reloaded MS Office including Word which is still spell checking OK |

| 137362 | 2003-04-22 22:13:00 | What happens when you press F7? | Russell D (18) | ||
| 137363 | 2003-04-23 04:04:00 | Thanks for offering Russell F7 has no effect - but it does actuate spelling in Word Bruce Drummond |

| 137364 | 2003-04-23 06:17:00 | Something in Excel/Office is broken - as F7 will normally bring up spell checking. Have you run the Repair Office option - this may have a better effect than athe reinstall of Excel. |
