Red wiggly lines under text in Shapes in Excel 2016. Words not misspelled.

[Wessie]

Good day all

Thanks for taking the time.

I have a sheet in Excel that contains shapes with text in them. The texts in these shapes are not misspelled. If I run a spell check nothing is picked up.
All text has red wiggly lines under them. How do I get rid of these lines? It even prints when I print or PDF.

Thanks,
Wessie

Thanks for the help guys. Fluff. I have mailed you my screen shot.

I don't see the misspelled word markers using standalone Excel 2016. As far as I know, Excel doesn't mark misspelled text, but Word does.

Try changing the font. It's currently specified as Open Sans Light on the worksheet and in the text boxes. The Open Sans family isn't installed by Microsoft: it's a font commissioned by Google from Ascender. I happen to have Open Sans on my machine.

I'll test this as soon as I get a chance, thank you.

That's how I understood it as well. Hence why Googling didn't give me an answer. I'll try a font change and see if it fixes the issue. \

Thank you!

Thank you. I have sent you a new screen shot where we changed the font to Georgia and decreased the font size. Still had the issue.

Hi Dryver. Thank you, but that unfortunately did not fix the issue.

Thank you. I have changed the font to Georgia now and the issue still persisted. I have emailed this screenshot to fluff again.
