SYMPTOMS

Although the spelling checker has been installed correctly, it ignores misspelled words.

CAUSE

In the Spelling Options dialog box, under Ignore, Microsoft Access selects the option Words in UPPERCASE by default. The text that you are checking consists entirely of uppercase letters, so it appears that the spelling checker is not working properly.

RESOLUTION

Type some misspelled data in lowercase letters, and then use the spelling checker. When the Spelling dialog box appears, click Options. In the Spelling Options dialog box, under Ignore, click to clear the Words in UPPERCASE check box, and then click OK.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a new table in Datasheet view.
  2. Type XXXYYY.
  3. On the Tools menu, click Spelling. Although the text is misspelled, you receive the following message:
    The spelling check is complete.

REFERENCES

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
