    Question To allow autocorrect to run on pasted data without clicking in each cell.

    Hello,

    I am copying and pasting names and data into a worksheet with complex macros. A lot of the names are misspelled and need to be changed. To avoid interferring with macros in the sheet I entered the names into autocorrect so they correct themselves. This solved the problem a bit but the names do not autocorrect unless I click in the cell. Is there a way to run autocorrect on the whole spreadsheet??? Running spellcheck doesnt solve the problem as it points to every name, including those spelled correctly.

    Thank you for your consideration,

    Michelle

    You might be better creating a lookup table with mispelled and correct columns and using a VLOOKUP function to correct.

    Something like

    =IFNA(VLOOKUP(A1,D:E,2,0),A1)

    will change misspelled words but keep ones not identified as misspelled.
