Spell Check for Excel (Mac)

Hi,

The spell checker ("Review" - "spell check") for the Excel app on iMacs does not work - it does not offer alternatives to errors, it does not respond at all.

Has anyone experienced this problem and found a solution?

Any suggestions?

Spell Check not working on Big Sur 11.5.2 Spell Check doesn't work in Mail or Word on my MacBook Air using Big Sur. 11.5.2. I've tried all the fixes suggested on this site and none of them worked. Has anyone found a solution? Or do I have to upgrade to Monterey and hope they have fixed this bug?

Spellcheck not working in Monterey 12.1 Spellcheck has stopped working in all my apps since upgrading to 12.1 Misspelled words are NOT underlined in red. I have checked to make sure Preferences>Keyboard>Text>Correct Spelling Automatically is checked. And have checked to make sure that Edit>Spelling&Grammar>Check Spelling While Typing is checked within each app. I have run Cocktail for macOS, cleared caches, restarted, etc. Oddly, for some reason, some apps are not showing the checkmark to the right of "Check Spelling While Typing, but others do. In both cases, the command does not work. I AM able to use Show Spelling & Grammer, and Check Document Now in all apps. Grateful for any suggestions.

Use the official Microsoft Excel support channel for strictly Mac users.

You might try checking with Microsoft support to see if they have any recommendations.
