Excel keyboard shortcuts

Check spelling

Windows
F7
Mac
Fn+F7

Opens the spell checker for the active sheet and starts at the active cell. Select a range first to check only that part. Excel checks the text you have typed, not the results of formulas. In a browser, F7 turns on caret browsing, so practice it in Excel itself.

Your browser keeps this combination for itself, so we explain it here but can't drill it in the page.
