Spell checker

[wolf]

Hi all,

I have a spreadsheet with a cell containing a lot of text.
(This cannot be distributed over several cells.)

When I use the spell-checker, it pretends that all
corrections are made, but at the end it says:
-Formula is too long-
and no corrections are made for this cell.

I guess that happens when there are more then 1024 letters
in one cell?

Is there any workaround that makes it look as if the spell-
checker was working properly, so that a user does not
really see the difference?


Best regards

This article discusses the problem. Although it's for Excel 2002 I'd bet
the problem affects earlier versions too.

Hello Jim,

thanks for the reference.

Indeed it works in XP, but it does not work in 2000.
