SPELLING.CHECK macro

Checks the spelling of a word. Returns TRUE if the word is spelled correctly; FALSE otherwise.

Syntax

SPELLING.CHECK(word_text, custom_dic, ignore_uppercase)

Word_text    is the word whose spelling you want to check. It can be text or a reference to text.

Custom_dic    is the filename of a custom dictionary to examine if the word is not found in the main dictionary.

Ignore_uppercase    is a logical value corresponding to the Ignore Words In Uppercase check box. If ignore_uppercase is TRUE, the check box is selected, and Microsoft Excel ignores words in all uppercase letters; if FALSE, the check box is cleared, and Microsoft Excel checks all words; if omitted, the current setting is used.
