checking spelling

[anotheoldgit]

I have set up an Excel sheet with columns each cell listing different items.

How can I check the correct spelling of an item in a particular cell?

I highlight the cell and select spelling, but it starts checking all the spellings from the start of the spreadsheet.

I am sure it never did this before, what as happened, and how can I revert it back so as to check individual cells?

Check in Tools >Options that it isn't set to automatically check the complete document. Unfortunately I am using Office 2007 and the setup is a bit different. From what I remember of 2003, you select the cell, press F7 and it will check the cell then ask if you want to continue from the start of the document.
