No new comments, ugh. 0365 Excel online- spellcheck does not work, it is a government agency. Is the functionality in the gov tenants yet? Are there administrative functions needing to be enabled? Could Firewall configuration cause issue? why does spellchecker NOT work in Excel 0365 online version??????

Umm, no it's not. At least, not when using Google Chrome. The browser's spellchecker doesn't work when I am working on an Excel workbook through OneDrive. I don't know if there are different online versions of Excel, but when I search in the search bar above the ribbon for a spellchecker, the browser-based version of Excel refers me to the desktop version.

It's very inconvenient.

Try F7.
Auto Spell scheck, and even better highlighting words would be better.

F7 spell checks currently (I just found out!)
But auto spell but underline (and the ability to togggle on and off even better)

A very valuable tool that is missing from the online version. Over the years many of us have come to rely on it.
