Access 2000

Check the Spelling of Data

The Spelling Check feature searches for spelling errors in a table, form, or query. For now, we'll concentrate on checking spelling in a table.

In a table, check the spelling of records, fields, or text within a field.

To Check Spelling in a Table:

• Click on the Spelling button. The Spelling dialog box opens.
• Access checks the data until it finds a word that is not in the Dictionary file. The unrecognized word is displayed in the Not in Dictionary text box.
• Manually correct the word, replace it from a list of suggested spellings, ignore it, or add the word to the custom dictionary.

To review, Office 2000's Spelling and Grammar feature is fully explained in our Office 2000 class.
