SUMMARY
In Microsoft Excel, you can check spelling for just the objects on a worksheet. You can do this manually or with Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications code.



MORE INFORMATION
NOTE: Although WordArt in Microsoft Office 97 is an object, you can not check its spelling manually or with the sample code because of its graphical nature.

Checking Spelling Manually

 * 1) Select the objects. To do this, click the first object, and then hold down SHIFT and click each additional object.
 * 2) Click the Spelling button, or click Spelling on the Tools menu.
