    Hello Fred,

    Thank you for your question. My name is Bill and I am happy to help. I am a Microsoft user just like you.

    Here are some steps to possibly get Microsoft Excel spell check to work:

    1. Check Language Settings:
      • Make sure that the correct language is selected for your cells. You can find this in the "Review" tab under "Language" in the "Language" group.
    2. Enable Spell Check:
      • Ensure that spell check is enabled. Go to the "File" tab, select "Options," then click on "Proofing." Make sure the "Check spelling as you type" option is checked.
    3. Check Dictionary:
      • Verify that the correct dictionary is selected. In the "Proofing" options, check the language and dictionary settings.
    4. Run Spell Check Manually:
      • You can manually run the spell check by selecting the cells you want to check, then going to the "Review" tab and clicking on "Spelling."

    Try these out and let me know how it goes.
