SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, words that are corrected by the spelling checker may be
truncated by one character. For example, if multiple cells in a worksheet
contain the following
and you correct all of the words to "outstanding" by clicking the Change
All button in the Spelling dialog box, most or all of the words may appear
like this
rather than as "outstanding" (the correct spelling).
CAUSE
This problem occurs because of a problem in the MSSP232.DLL spelling file.
The design of the DLL may cause a single character to be truncated from a
word when the word is corrected by the spelling checker.
WORKAROUND
To avoid the problem, do not use the Change All button when you check
spelling in a worksheet. Instead, use the Change button to correct one
misspelled word at a time.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in
Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0a.
