Simply press Ctrl+E to begin the spell check (an editbox must have input focus).

Do not send it to me, though, before you have read the entire article. Once installed, the Spell Checker will be ready for immediate use. If this doesn't work, send me a sample document with your tables (clear of data if you wish) and I'll look at it. To check spelling manually, click Review > Spelling & Grammar.
