    Spell Check only Cell that has changed

    I am trying to run a VBA to spell check a cell that has been changed and not the whole sheet. I have tried the following....

    ....and....

    ....but both check the whole sheet. I have also tried 'Cell.CheckSpelling' instead of 'Selection.CheckSpelling' in both sections but same issue.

    Thank you.
