F7: Spell Check (Microsoft Office)

Posted in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft PowerPoint by estephen on June 29th, 2007

In most Microsoft Office apps (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook), tap F7 to begin the spellcheck process.

In the spellecheck dialog box, don’t forget to use Alt plus an underlined letter to hit the button! Using Alt+A to Add a correct word (such as your last name) to your custom dictionary is smart because it saves time in two ways — now, by saving you from having to use your mouse to hit the button, and later, by preventing this correctly spelled word from ever wasting your time again.

    I tried the key F7 for spell check and a message appeared that wanted to close out the Word document I was using.
