Remove Spelling from Excel 2010

[pixellip]

Hi there

Really struggling with this one....

 

I'm trying to remove the spelling entry from the Quick Access toolbar in Excel 2010 and tried stopping the keyboard shortcut F7. I've tried nosing around in Group Policy for it - I found the 'Disable Commands' and 'Disable Shortcuts' for Excel 2010 and set the Control ID to 2 (which is meant to be spelling) but it's still allowing you to tick it from the menu. Also I've tried so many combinations of hotkey command values but I can't stop it with F7.

 

The user is getting this policy as I can disable e.g. Underline from the menu.

 

I'm reading these instructions Quickly deploy Microsoft Office customizations post install | David Vielmetter but you still can't remove spelling as an entry from the toolbar.

 

I'm really stuck. Thanks for your help

 

PS we've managed to turn spelling off in Word but not in Excel......I am looking through but it seems to be with disabling things in Proofing options. I also created a registry Dword called 'WordSpellingOptions' and set that to 0 in HHKey Current User but that didn't work.

I've managed to switch it off now - it's just a shortcut key now ( which I've tried everything!)

I got this working everyone. You have to go to group policy, look at the Excel 2010 settings, then went to Disable Items in User Interface, Disable shorcut keys - then I typed 118,0 for the virtual key codes and that stops people pressing F7 to get spelling check.

To really block it you should go to uninstall programs and then modify. Remove the spelling components - this will completely turn off the spell checker

Thanks Win.

Trouble is we use this user on many pcs be it exams or interview situations so we're not always in the same room. It's handy to know that though. Thanks.
